UE-97-04 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science, School of Environment, Resources and Development Thesis (M.Sc.) - Asian Institute of Technology, 1998 Increasing population pressure, depletion of resources such as fresh water, and inadequate management of the infrastructure systems are some of the major constraints causing progressing deterioration related to urban water supply and sanitation. Provision of infrastructure has traditionally been considered as a social responsibility of public agencies. The municipal bodies who are already plagued with problems of finance, lack of technical know-how and inefficient management, as in the case of Kolhapur City, a fast growing city in India, are finding it increasingly difficult to cope with an ever-increasing need to provide the services to the urban population., whereas, private companies have indicated a keen interest in provision of these services. The inability and lack of willingness on the part of the municipal bodies on one hand, and the willingness on the part of the private companies to develop urban sanitation services, on the other hand is leading to the growing trend of privatization of urban environmental infrastructure. The study aims to look into the key issues like appropriate pricing, unbundling of services, role of private and public agencies related to Private Sector Participation (PSP) in the provision of water supply, sewerage and sewage in Kolhapur City. The key focus of the study is to assess the financial and institutional feasibility of Private Sector Participation, with special emphasis on economic viability, political and administrative will, technical and institutional feasibility and social acceptability. A Financing and Operating Plan for water supply with sensitivity analysis model has been developed, as also an institutional framework for selection of appropriate private sector participation option has been developed. These models are applicable to Kolhapur City, but may also be applied to other similar urban areas in India.
