The cases include 10 rural systems, 3 suburban and 4 small urban systems. This report is organized into 2 sections--Documentation Reports and Fact Sheets. Section 1 presents a Documentation Report for each of the 13 systems that indicated major successes with privatization. The Documentation Report presents each system in terms of: Description and Background, Factors Which Lead To Private Sector Involvement, Documentation of Cost Difference, Overall Rating Of The Service and Conclusion.
