Financial Aspects and Efficiency
The financial policy of the sector, as defined in 1994, is based on the following key principles:
- The only support from the State is in the form of on-lending of donor’s financing; there are no ongoing operating subsidies.
- There will be no excessive increases in water tariffs; tariff increases are gradual on the basis of a financial model.
- There is a social tariff (the subsidized first block of the tariff for consumption under 10 m³ per month) in order to ensure affordability.

Famous quotes containing the words financial, aspects and/or efficiency:
“Because of these convictions, I made a personal decision in the 1964 Presidential campaign to make education a fundamental issue and to put it high on the nation’s agenda. I proposed to act on my belief that regardless of a family’s financial condition, education should be available to every child in the United States—as much education as he could absorb.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“The power of a text is different when it is read from when it is copied out.... Only the copied text thus commands the soul of him who is occupied with it, whereas the mere reader never discovers the new aspects of his inner self that are opened by the text, that road cut through the interior jungle forever closing behind it: because the reader follows the movement of his mind in the free flight of day-dreaming, whereas the copier submits it to command.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
