Abstract

Public services in all countries are related to the basic needs that people should satisfy in order to warranty a worthy quality of life. The water and sanitation services provision is one of these services. Through this study, the case of water and sanitation provision in Peru will be analyzed. Data evidences that by 2004, the 71% of Peruvian population had access to water services, while the 63% of Peruvian population had access to sanitation services. Then, it can be inferred that the performance of the provider enterprises of water and sanitation services and the tariffs scheme has not been good enough. In order to understand the problem beyond the provision of water and sanitation services in Peru, it is necessary to investigate the political economy of Peruvian water and sanitation sector and its tariffication scheme.
