REGULATING THE INDUSTRY(Regulated Industry Players as at 31 Mac 2010)
WHY GOVERNMENT SHOULD OWN WATER ASSETS?
• Water services infrastructure is capital intensive, tariff is highly sensitive (developed and developing countries alike), is a critical service, natural monopoly and long pay back period
• Public sector has a greater capability to raise funding while private sector can provide more efficient and effective operations**
• Even in many advanced countries, water assets are owned by Government but operated by private sector or corporatized public-sector owned entities. In Malaysia, good examples are Penang, Perak, Melaka, Terengganu etc.
• Need to restore consumers’ confidence especially on transparency and efficient management of water assets
• PAAB will ease the management of financial risks to the operators and will serve as a bridge for them until full-cost recovery can be achieved**

WHY NEED TO EXPEDITE THE CORPORATIZATION?
12
Strengthen the Management Team Assignment of Management
Responsibility Provide Authority
• empowerment - faster decision making
• enable actions to achieve company’s objectives
Improve Efficiency Improve Financial Status
• reasonable overheads• address the capital needs• accrual accounting basis –
- reflect actual financial position of the company (better projections and planning)
- depreciation impact to bottom line Improve Service Delivery Improve Performance Monitoring
• able to benchmark with other operators
MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS
PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT
12
PAAB – FUNDING• SPAN has issued Facilities Licence to PAAB on
11 August 2009
• A RM20 billion Sukuk program has been approved to finance the acquisition of water infrastructure assets and development of new infrastructure projects
• PAAB has raised its first tranche of RM2.5 billion Medium Term Notes from the capital market on November 2009
13
PAAB – NEW CAPEX PROJECTS• PAAB has commenced CAPEX works for states that have migrated to
the new regime :– Negeri Sembilan:
• Gemas Baru Water Treatment Plant– Melaka :
• DAF Fasa 2, Durian Tunggal• Water Supply System to Sunpower Plant at Rembia, Alor Gajah
– Johor :• Semangar Water Treatment Plant• Water Supply System for Endau• Mersing Buluh Kasap Water Supply Scheme
• PAAB is also the appointed agency for the development of Langat 2 and KLIA Water Supply Scheme
Consultants for Langat 2 has been appointed (selection of consultants is through open tender)
Open tender for construction has commenced
• To date, PAAB has called a total no. of 14 tenders
14
State AState B
State CState D
- Relieve State Governments from outstanding loans and the task of securing funding for water assets- Better credit ratings compared to private operators, thus lower cost of funds
-PAAB to finance water infrastructure and lease to water operators- SPAN to ensure lease charges are fair and reasonable- New or replacement of water assets must be approved by SPAN and tied to KPIs of Water Operators
Water Operators can finance own assets without depending on PAAB ( i.e. industry achieve full-cost recovery status)
ROLE OF PAAB BEFORE INDUSTRY ACHIEVES FULL COST RECOVERY
15
Tariff < OPEX+CAPEX
2008 Full Cost Recovery
Tariff > OPEX + CAPEX
* OPEX includes raw water charges and CAPEX includes environmental costs

ISSUES IN MIGRATION• Negotiations between Federal and State Government require
careful and cautious approach
• More time required than anticipated
• Need to finalize quickly the restructuring of water services industry particularly in Selangor– 1.5 million customers
– Heavy investments
– Customers high expectation
– Stagnant NRW level (33.90% in 2008, 32.38%* in 2009)
– RPS Loan of RM131.6 mil by Federal Government not sufficient to fund critical works
– Immediate replacement of aging communication pipes
– Immediate refurbishment of reservoirs, tanks, valves and pumps

TOWARDS BETTER WATER SERVICES

Better consumers’ acceptance
Increase in willingness to
pay

IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS
20
• Some improvement programs undertaken by Water Service Licensees to meet KPIs:– Setting up central lab– Special Task Force to resolve water issues at specific areas– Internal audit– Health check for facilities e.g. water tanks– Special committee to reduce operational cost (electrical cost, chemical
cost and plant wastage) e.g. installation of energy saving devices– Intensive meter changing program esp. commercial and industrial– Renegotiating with sub-contractors– HR recruitment exercise– HR Development Plan
• Training need analysis• Motivational program and Competency-based training
– Establishment of new Customer Service Center– Water conservation & public awareness program– Stepping up enforcement
CONFORMANCE OF WATER QUALITY• Conformance to minimum quality standard is listed as
one of KPIs for water supply services
• Close collaboration with MOH on compliance monitoring
• SPAN conducts regular audits esp. WTP with high violation cases
• Marked improvement on water quality from 2007 to 2009
– e.g. Improvement on conformance of Aluminium Residual of 10.2% over 2007 – 2009 period
• Measures by operator to improve water quality:
– In-house monitoring at WTPs and distribution system
– Formation of task force to address specific quality issues

HANDING OVER OF PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY / SEWERAGE SYSTEMS
• Failure of developers in handing over water supply and sewerage system has led to social problems which required SPAN’s intervention
• Status on handing over of water supply system :
• Some of major projects resolved:– Bukit Beruntung, Bukit Sentosa, Lembah Beringin and Saujana Putra

• In line with Completion and Compliance Certification (CCC) concept which allows self-regulation
• Qualified Persons not carrying out their responsibilities will be taken off the list
• To date, SPAN has recognized 2,059 “Qualified Persons” for certification of water supply and sewerage systems

PUBLIC AWARENESS
• Public awareness of their responsibilities is low especially on:– Replacement of aging internal piping (after meter)
which can effect water quality and cause leakage
– Regular maintenance of internal storage tank
– Engagement of qualified plumbers with SPAN permit for plumbing works
– Use of quality products registered with SPAN
– Water saving and conservation
– Prompt payment of water bills
38

40
CHALLENGES• Raw water – quantity and quality
• State government’s cooperation and support needed
• Slow migration to new regime
• Higher expectation of consumer upon corporatization
• Training and capacity building for SPAN as regulator
• Capacity building for the industry esp. as new corporatized entity
• High leakage – a total of 38,500 km of AC pipes to be replaced gradually as it is also highly capital intensive
41
CONCLUSION• Federal Government has put in place a clear
policy and legal framework of the water services industry
• Promote transparency and effective participation from stakeholders
• Increase efficiency and effectiveness in service provisions by licensees
• Ensure sustainability of development of capital works to meet demand requirements
• More enforcement needed
