61 Conclusion The process of reviewing the funding model and the pricing strategy is underway. Various meetings were held with the affected stakeholder during 2009 to obtain a buy in from this process. Capital budget is not enough to cover the existing backlogs on the maintenance of infrastructure assets. WTE is unable to build reserves to build new infrastructure assets due to the exemption of ROA and capping of tariffs ( limited to 10% plus PPI).
