  1. ARMENIA: NPD Minimum Water Supply standardsfor Water Supply and Sanitation Yerevan, 22 March 2007 Jochem Jantzen Director, TME

  2. CONTENTS • Approach in other countries • Institutional set up • Enforcement • Preliminary observations

  3. APPROACH IN OTHER COUNTRIES • Water supply to (rural) customers should meet demand (freedom of consumption): 120-200 lcd • Exemptions: • Non affordable (social issue) • Impossibility to meet demand at reasonable costs

  4. INSTITUTIONAL SET UP Within water companies there is a possibility to “cross subsidise” (the cheaper connections pay the same as the more expensive connections) For individual municipalities this possibility almost does not exist

  5. ENFORCEMENT • How to enforce the standards (if not enforced, they are not needed): • Legal procedures? • “Water authority” with powers? • (Bi)-annual reporting to SCWS

  6. PRELIMINARY OBSERVATIONS Minimal Water Supply Standards should not be the strategic target, but should regulate exemptions Minimal Water Supply Standards in Armenia should be more ambitious than UN definition (Quantity, Distribution) Current Institutional Set Up not fit for Minimal Water Supply standards Without enforcement not advisable
