The company is leveraging the capacities of its suppliers to reduce the complexity of its business to a manageable level and the number of customers has been growing steadily, with an average of around 24 new households per month. Although some customers expressed the view that the price for the service is high, they appear to be willing to pay it and the level of satisfaction with the service for x-runner customers is high. Going forward, an explicit recognition of CBS—or a category into which CBS clearly falls—as a viable sanitation system for the urban poor, would be an important factor for enabling public sector support. 2019-02-15T16:34:05Z 2019-02-15T16:34:05Z 2019-02-14 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/512101550179648044/Evaluating-the-Potential-of-Container-Based-Sanitation-X-Runner-in-Lima-Peru http://hdl.handle.net/10986/31293 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Working Paper Latin America & Caribbean Peru
