Local government plays a critical role in ensuring access to safe and clean water in communities through various initiatives such as developing infrastructure, implementing regulations, and providing financial assistance.

Community-based solutions like communal water taps and pooled financing can be more cost-effective and sustainable than individual household approaches.
