Performance benchmarking systems must be underpinned by sustained institutional support. Benchmarking of district and provincial water utilities’ performance is an invaluable tool in monitoring performance and identifying strengths and weaknesses, allowing problems to be addressed in a timely manner. However, sustained support is required to ensure these benchmarking systems are effective. It is suggested that MHCS reviews the benchmarking system in all provincial water utilities and develops a plan for filling any gaps.
