To evaluate and reflect the
sustainability of services in the region, an overall sector
sustainability assessment was done taking into account four
main dimensions: access to services, quality of services,
efficiency of services, and financing of services. Each of
these dimensions is measured through three simple and
objective indicators. For each indicator, best practice
values are established by looking at the best performers in
the region, and countries closest to those best performers
are deemed to have a more mature sector. A more complete
description of the methodology to assess the sector
sustainability is included in the Annex of the State of the
Sector Regional Report from the Danube Water Program. The
outcomes of this assessment for the Czech Republic water
sector are displayed in Figure 9, which also shows average
and best practices in the Danube region. The Czech sector
sustainability score is 88, which is much higher than the
Danube average sector sustainability of 64, and is among the
best practices in the region. The assessment shows that, on
average, the country performs very well in terms of access
to piped water and flush toilets, continuity of service,
wastewater compliance, staffing level, collection ratio, and
nonrevenue water. The main deficiencies of the Czech water
sector identified through the sector sustainability
assessment are operating cost ratio and affordability. The
main sector challenges are: implementing reform regarding
the regulatory framework of the sector. Within the framework
of the 2014-2020 operational program for environment, the
European Commission stipulated ex-ante conditions, requiring
the Czech Republic to establish a regulatory office for the
sector. Different alternatives are discussed at the
governmental level, and regulatory impact assessment papers
are being prepared; and facilitating sector strategic
planning despite the heterogeneity of the utility ownership
structure. Around 6,000 entities (owners, public services
providers) operate in the water sector (Expert estimate). To
some extent, the heterogeneity of those entities in terms of
size, legal status, scope of competencies and interests
prevent effective strategic planning, resource balancing,
and efficient asset management of regional systems,
including drought and water scarcity issues management.
Addressing this situation could help implement more
efficient sector planning. |
