  • I'd have to say it's a bit iffy.
    • There may be some issues with tone, or at least the various opinions need to be better referenced. For example, "Quality of service also leaves much to be desired" does not have the formal encyclopedic tone I'd expect. It needs some authoritative reference to support that position, such as a government quote. Otherwise an absolute statement would be better.
    • There are also too many brief sections, resulting in an overly-long ToC. Can these either be expanded or consolidated?
    • Can the "Share of household metering" field be given a value?
    • Finally, more references are probably needed.
    I hope this was helpful. Thanks. — RJH (talk) 17:14, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for these useful comments, which all are valid and useful. I can't promise to work on them soon, but the World Bank's Infrastructure Public Expenditure Review has more information that can be used to expand the sections and to provide more references. The one topic on which there is no authoritative information unfortunately is quality of service, especially drinking water quality.--Mschiffler 19:11, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
