The Water Supply and Sanitation Act 2009 provides the legal institutional framework for the management and provision of water supply and sanitation services. The Water Supply and Sanitation Act makes the Boards of Directors the sole mandated authorities to obtain the licenses for the provision of water and sanitation services, in the area of their jurisdiction. The Water Supply and Sanitation Act aims at addressing the weaknesses and challenges that face the water industry.
