PART 1: 2005-2006 OVERVIEW
The addressable population is the percentage of the population (2003 figures) that the author
believes have a better than even chance of being served with privatised water and/or sewerage
provision by 2015. The year 2015 may appear a long way off, but it does allow for current
political, regulatory and market trends to be translated into realistic market developments, while
allowing for five years of contract award and implementation slippage for political and economic
changes.
The table below consists of a set of estimates for the current extent of private sector
participation in water and sewerage services for the main markets, along with forecasts for the
potential extent of private sector penetration by 2015.
