Legal impediments to providing services to informal settlements on private land

Abstract

Since 2000, the national government has embarked on a series of initiatives to reform water supply and sanitation policies. However, despite the progress made by local government, there are still over 3 million South African households that experience substandard sanitation services. The Water Research Commission funded a study to understand the challenges and constraints associated with providing sanitation in urban areas and present policy recommendations to address these challenges.
