  1. Presentation Of baseline findings on the status of functionality and sustainability Of water facilities in Akatsi District ,Volta Region Tom Laari Chimbar Volta Regional Learning Facilitator Triple-S 23RD JAN. 2012 Akatsi District Assembly Hall

  2. OUTLINE • FLOW as data collection tool • Hand Pump functionality and sustainability • Pipe system functionality and sustainability • Important observations • Emerging Critical Issues

  3. FLOW as data collection tool • Field Level Operations Watch • It uses android phone technology • It takes images; pictures of facilities, records etc • Takes GPS coordinates of facilities • And able to record data of tens of thousands of water facilities • Data is uploaded to a server and can be viewed as Google maps, or exported to excel for analysis using pivot tables

  32. Important observations Point Sources • There are 31 hand pumps in the district without WATSANs (orphan boreholes). 11 are in Akatsi town council, while 18 are Avenorpeme. Every borehole with hand pump installed must have a WATSAN. • Water quality analysis has not been performed on any of the BHs after installation of Hand pumps. The standard period however, is every half year. • More than 80% of the boreholes in the district are either broken down or performing sub optimally.

  33. Important observations Point sources • All WATSAN accounts have not been audited in the past one year. • Fifty six (56) WATSANs do not keep records of their operations. • All WATSANs do not use Life Cycle Cost Approach for setting tariffs. Tariffs are not based on projected cost. • About 28% of the Boreholes in the district are serving populations above 300. All such boreholes are experiencing overcrowding. • Thirty four (34) of the WATSANs have not had any form of training and all the 119 WATSANs have not had retraining.

  34. Important observations Pipe schemes • The Wlitey Pipe scheme does not have either bulk meter or standpipe meters. This does not allow for proper determination of quantities of water produced, distributed and used. • All WSDBs do not have distinct Capital or replacement, operational or regular and sanitation accounts as set out in the guidelines for the establishment of WSDBs. • All WSDBs have not been audited in the past one year • All WSDBs do not use Life Cycle Cost Approach to setting tariffs. Tariffs are not based on projected cost.
