The study was carried out to assess operating cost management on force account water supply projects performance in Arusha Region. Of late there has been an increase in the use of force account even for high value contracts in water supply projects, and the reason given include the cost savings achieved by many Procuring Entity’s using this approach. The extensive literature review conducted, mainly on previous research that explored the elements of force account water construction projects. A mixed survey study design was used during the data analysis process however, the study managed to collect and analyses 207 questionnaires out of 216 sample selected from 470 total population and 14 interview guides from key informants collected. The study found that there was a relatively significant influence of operating cost on force account water supply projects performance, positive correlation between operating cost and water supply project performance and water supply projects performance was explained by 56.1% by operating cost with significant contribution on water supply projects performance i.e. P-value of 0.000 Also, the regression result shows that there is the positive relatiship between operating cost (OC), and water supply project performance means an increase of OPC lead to positive change in water supply projects performance. The study concludes that operating cost has influenced water supply project performance. The study provides several recommendations including; in order to improve the project implementation and proper use of public funds and managing operating cost the need for best net outcome and efficiency in the use of public funds during the implementation of force account projects should be enhanced and monitored.
