Thus, questionnaires were set to evaluate the existing management strategy and staff members were interviewed to ascertain the feasibility of the strategy in terms of planning, organizing and controlling. Some consumers were interviewed on their perception of the organizations commercialization and its effect on them. Operational indicators for them water utility were used to evaluate the performance of the utility. To analyze the qualitative data, a SWOT analysis was used and a matrix method was used to analyze the quantitative data.
