Water privatization in Ecuador
- Water privatization in Ecuador
Water privatization in Ecuador has been limited to a single concession agreement in one city, while the bulk of the water and sanitation sector in Ecuador remains in public hands.
In Guayaquil, the service was transferred to the private company [http://www.interagua.com.ec/ Interagua] under a concession in 2001. At the same time, the former municipal utility ECAPAG became the regulatory agency for the new private utility. [ [http://www.ecapag.gov.ec/SoloPortalECAPAG/portal.html ECAPAG] ]
