    (2) Financial: lack of funding for infrastructure renewals and replacement, past under-investment in infrastructure renewals and maintenance, water prices set below sustainable levels (do not support full lifecycle cost recovery), lack of reliable funding sources, dependence upon ad hoc government funding Governance, inefficient management, low transparency, poor accountability, absence of input mechanism for consumers into decision-making, lack of managerial autonomy of utility.
