The objective of the TC is to support the Modernization of the Legal and Regulatory Framework that governs WSC and the water and sanitation sector in The Bahamas.The Water and Sewerage Corporation (WSC) and the Government of the Bahamas have identified the urgent need to update the legal and regulatory framework that governs WSC and the water and sanitation sector in The Bahamas. There are ten separate acts that govern the water and sanitation sector in the Bahamas. The acts in place are not consistent with a modern water and sanitation sector. For example, the legal and regulatory framework in New Providence is different from that which applies to the Family Islands. Further, there is not an independent economic regulator, nor an effective environmental regulator, in the sector.
