The poor performance of most water utilities in the developing world has long been a stumbling block in achieving water and sanitation for all. Heavy water losses, poor customer service, intermittent supplies, lack of metering, untrained staff and a litany of other woes have become so entrenched that people have often resigned themselves to their fate. While the central areas of big cities have access to water and sanitation,the urban poor are usually not covered. The urban squatter settlements often languish under the most unhygienic conditions imaginable. Many WSTF activities in 2009 focussed on providing training and technical assistance to water and sanitation utilities.
