The costs as shown in figure 3 (above) are based on the provision of a basic level of water service, as defined by WASHCost, it implies that the following criteria have been realised by the majority of the population in the service area: People access a minimum of 20 litres per person per day, of acceptable quality (judged by user perception and country standards) from an improved source which functions at least 350 days a year without a serious breakdown, spending no more than 30 minutes per day per round trip (including waiting time).
====Capital expenditure sanitation service delivery====
Based on research from the [[#WASHCost]] project, the minimum Capital Expenditure required to provide a basic level of sanitation service ranges from US$ 7 for a [[Single_Pit|basic pit latrine]] to US$ 36 (2011 prices) for a [[Single_Ventilated_Improved_Pit|Ventilated Pit Latrine (VIP)]] (see figure 4).
