The main aim of this study is to identify the most efficient forms of management for municipal water supply
services, taking into account exogenous factors. The study is based on a sample of 1518 Spanish municipalities,
all with 1000 to 50,000 inhabitants, for the year 2019. The study method consists of analysing order-m partial
frontiers subjected to environmental factors. The main results obtained indicate that mixed management forms
achieve the highest levels of efficiency.
