Cholpon-Ata city case study on water supply and sanitation tariffs
Preferred scenarios for reform of water supply and sanitation tariffs are often site-specific.

Supporting and accompanying measures are proposed to facilitate implementation – these provide input to the draft Action Plan. Some of the measures are quite universal and could be applied also in other settlements.
