As per understanding of the values in this feature the following conclusions I have drawn:

- Water authority and Water Board are all same
- Similarly Private Operator and Company

But not able to get the clear picture of SWC, VWC, WUG

Hey, I found this report that has a useful acronym section at the end: [https://www.oecd.org/countries/tanzania/42401172.pdf](https://www.oecd.org/countries/tanzania/42401172.pdf)

Here is what I found:  
WUG = Water User Group

SWC and VWC could reference VWSC (Village Water and Sanitation Committee ) using slightly different labels. Perhaps SWC is Sanitation and Water Committee and VWC is Village Water Committee.
