Transforming Water Services Regulation: The Role

Ensuring Sustainable, Reliable, and Affordable Water Services

The Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Air Negara (SPAN) is a regulatory body dedicated to ensuring sustainable, reliable, and affordable water services for all Malaysians. With a vision towards achieving this goal, SPAN is committed to regulating the water services industry through fair, effective, and transparent means, as outlined in the Water Services Industry Act.

Legislative Amendments and Regulatory Changes

In a significant development, Parliament approved amendments to the Ninth Schedule of the Federal Constitution in January 2005, transferring matters related to WATER SUPPLIES AND SERVICES from the State List to the Concurrent List (except for Sabah and Sarawak). Gazetted on 10th February 2005, with enforcement effective from 21st March 2005, these amendments marked a pivotal moment in water services regulation in Malaysia.

Under these amendments, the Federal Government assumed responsibility for regulating the water services industry, including licensing and oversight of water services operators. However, the State Government retained authority over the declaration and regulation of water resources, catchment areas, and river basins.

Landmark Legislation and Regulatory Framework

In mid-2006, the Malaysian Parliament passed two groundbreaking pieces of legislation that revolutionized the management of water services in the country: the National Water Services Commission Act (Act 654) or SPAN Act, and the Water Services Industry Act (Act 655) or WSIA.

The SPAN Act delineates the roles, functions, and scope of work to be undertaken by SPAN, empowering the commission to oversee various aspects of the water services sector. Meanwhile, the WSIA provides a comprehensive framework for economic, technical, and social regulations, ensuring the protection of consumer interests.
