  1. Trends in the Performance Indicators of the WSS Utilities in the Kyrgyz Republic Ildus Zalyalov Kyrgyzzhilkommunsoyuz Helsinki, Finland, 24-25 May 2007

  2. Objectives of Work Carried Out • Monitoring the water supply and sanitation system in the Kyrgyz Republic in 2000-2005 based on eleven water utilities of the republic(IBNET and statistics) • Capacity building in the collection of technical and financial data by transferring the World Bank methodology (IBNET)

  3. Institutional Features of the Water Supply and Sanitation Sector in the Kyrgyz Republic • Devolution stage is over and under respective decrees of the republic’s Government water utilities were transferred into the supervision of the local governments • Assets of the water utilities transferred to the local level are in municipal ownership of the local governments • Tariffs are approved on site by the heads of oblasts and Bishkek City public administrations

  4. Data Collection Techniques for Monitoring the WSS Utilities’ Performance • State statistical statements • Sectoral forms taking into account the specificity of water utilities’ operations are filed quarterly together with accounting statements and balance sheets • IBNET indicators: sample survey (questionnaires), on-site visits, telephone calls.

  5. Coverage with Centralized Water Supply Services Coverage with Centralized Sanitation 80% 70% 100% 60% 50% 80% 40% 60% 30% 20% 40% 10% 20% 0% 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 0% Coverage with centralized water supply 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 Of which (1) “in-house tap” (2) Street standpipe Coverage with centralized sanitation Analysis of WSS Utilities’ Operational and Technical Indicators Cities and urban villages of the republic are covered with the centralized WSS services at approximately 90 percent. For the localities included in the sample for monitoring purposes, the indicator is somewhat lower and equals 65 percent for water supply and 25 percent for sanitation in 2005.

  6. Analysis of WSS Utilities’ Operational and Technical Indicators (2) Volume of unaccounted-for water (in percent) at WSS utilities ranges from 9 percent to 66 percent.

  7. Analysis of WSS Utilities’ Operational and Technical Indicators (3) • Metering of the water consumption by households remains at a very low level in the Kyrgyz Republic. According to the monitoring data, the indicator did not exceed 1 percent during the analyzed period. • Wear and tear of the water networks is as high as 70 percent. In 2001, 22.1 percent of the street water supply networks had to be replaced; and in 2005, 37.3 percent.

  8. Cost Recovery by Tariff (Water Supply) Cost Recovery by Tariff (Sanitation) 120% 120% 100% 100% 80% 80% 60% 60% 40% 40% 20% 20% 0% 0% 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 Approved tariff Approved tariff Statutory percentage of cost recovery Actual cost Statutory percentage of cost recovery Actual cost Analysis of Financial IndicatorsCost recovery by household tariff Approved tariff did not go up considerably during the analyzed period; moreover, it decreased during the past three years from 2004 until 2006.Moreover, the difference between approved tariff and statutory percentage of cost recovery was almost 30 percent in 2006.

  9. Analysis of Financial Indicators In addition to low tariffs, the following factors affect the loss-making by utilities: • The share of households in service consumption went up from 60 percent to 68.7 percent and collection rate went down from 80 percent to 63 percentfrom 2000 to 2005; • Households’ arrears increased by 46 percent from 2000 to 2005 ! Problems with attracting skilled labour. Monthly average wage was just USD 67 in 2005 (minimum consumer budget – USD 63 per capita)

  10. Conclusions • Despite the stability and regularity (24 hours) of services, service quality keeps declining (increase in unaccounted-for water, network deterioration) • Water utilitiesremain loss-making (costs are not recovered by tariffs, decrease in collection rate, build up of arrears) • Investment remains at a very low level
