The first contract.
After months of consultations and patience, the first franchise agreement between a WaterStarters franchisee and the platform is signed. Ownership, revenue share, standards and reporting are all in one document, and everyone at the table has put their name to it.What this actually means on the ground.
- The community equity is in.
- The borehole is programmed.
- The engineering standards are agreed with the local suppliers.
- The health programme has a launch date on the calendar.
