Abstract

The Compliance and Enforcement Strategy is a Strategy made by Water Services Regulatory Board (WASREB). The aim is: 1) To ensure conformity to the Water Act 2002, rules and regulations made there under and guidelines issued by WASREB; 2) To prevent future violations as much as possible through voluntary effort; 3) To improve the standards of water service delivery in a sustainable manner in the whole country. The compliance and enforcement strategy of WASREB is grounded on the following methods: Education to foster learning, inducement and self regulation; Prevention through selective and targeted surveillance and a graduated warning approach; and Enforcement as a last resort using the traditional methods of coercion and deterrence.
