Colombia : Desarrollo economico reciente en infraestructura (REDI) : Sector agua potable
Fernandez, Diego
This study presents the evolution, present situation, and perspectives of the water supply and sanitation sector in Colombia. The sector is totally decentralized, given local administrators of the 1100 existing municipalities the responsibility of servicing their urban and rural populations. The government participates as a regulator and defies the sector policies. The development of the water sector in Colombia has been considerable in the last 10 years, mostly due to the new institutional and regulatory framework as defined in the Law 142 of 1994 (Ley de Servicios Publicos Domiciliares) and subsequent government decrees and resolutions by the Comision Reguladora del Agua (CRA). As for new tariffs and future of the sector, the CRA has not been able to define the new regulatory framework (nuevo marco regulatorio) which would bring a reduction in tariffs. Such reduction is unnecessary in a country where there is no regulation for the treatment of waste water disposal. This is a background document to the main report : Colombia - Recent economic developments in infrastructure (REDI) - balancing social and productive needs for infrastructure.
