AbstractEvaluation of the performance of a utility is crucial for its sustainable future, done using various methods. The objective of this study if to assess the performance of the Metropolitan Waterworks Authority throughout the period of 2005-2008. In addition to it, Principle com- ponent Analysis was also conducted to compact the number of variables used in this study. For the first objective a total number of 18 variables were used to assess the performance of MWA in three main core areas which were Production, Distribution and Consumption. The progress over years 2005-2014 were analyzed from the information from histograms and by comparing the progress over the previous years. Results in all three areas were inclined towards the expected results where the average pro- duction showed an increase of 15%. Total consumption per day on the other hand, showed and average increase of 31 % compared to other data set. While in detail, domestic water consumption per day increased by 16% and non-domestic consumption per day increased by 49% which was surprising. The exciting results were observed in the areas of Distribution, where NRW showed a similar repeating pattern in the last twelve years, reduced by a factor of 0.79. The same pattern was observed for UFW as well but with a different factor of 0.88. As per to the second objective, 18 variables were used as input data set and using SPSS software, the variables were extracted without much loss of information. As a result 6 vari- ables out of 18 variables were able to be extracted. Which contained most of the information needed from the 18 variables.
