This applies to the production, storage, delivery, and maintenance of all related systems of water as well as the treatment, disposal and reuse of wastewater.

As WSC is in the process of introducing best practices, the corporation seeks further knowledge and understanding of both water and sanitation services. The corporation hopes to share some common practices, looks forward to fruitful discussion, and long-term relations with the various firms.
