Paragraph text
To gain a complete and reliable understanding of available financing, budget projections need to include anticipated revenue received from water tariffs and other charges for water and sanitation services. If revenue from tariffs does not cover all related costs, funds will need to come out of the general budgets at the national, subnational and/or local levels. General revenue is relevant both for capital investments and for subsidies that are not contained within the tariff system.
Legal status
