Inference:
With little or no funding options evidently available in the ULB a low end user
paying capacity, the project financing remains a question, unles the ULB
mobilises funds from other sources. Further, the orientation of the town towards
PPP seems rather low. Though the water supplied to commercial centres are
charged on the basis of the meter reading, 1.6% of the assessed conections is
rather too small an portion to guage the course of the ULBinterest in PPP.
Despite having a large demand supply gap, PPP may not be the most viable
option to fill this in, considering there is no financing capacity with the town and
its overall orienation towards PPP is rather low.
