operario [responsable] del punto de suministro de agua
Explanation:
Parece referirse al operario encargado de cada punto de suministro de agua (encargados no solo del mantenimiento de los mismos sino también generalmente del cobro de tasas correspondientes por su utilización).

The fact that the stand post operators are not committed to their job may be because they still have no contract with the scheme operator.

Public stand posts constitute 3.2%. The lower percentages are to be improved through the Urban Poor Project and the simplified connection policy, especially the category of public stand posts.
(...)
Some of the strategic activities we have undertaken in respect to addressing the delivery of services to the urban poor include; intensification of the network, establishing public stand posts and installing yard taps within these settlements.

in the informal settlements it ranges from 25-33 shillings per 20 litre jerrican and the NWSC tariff charged to a stand post operator is 8 shillings.
(...)
NWSC sells water to the operator at a low price and recommends a sell price which it can not enforce because from then on the stand post operator is treated as any other customer; to pay bills for water supplied.
