Unity in the O & M Cause

Maintenance of water sources is every user's business. However, in many parts of rural Uganda, water users do not want to participate in operation and maintenance activities. On January 17th, a team from Triple-S Uganda visited Omito Borehole in Awire Alem village, Boroboro East, Adekwokok sub-county, where we found the users very busy tending their source. In this community, users have a designated day every month where they come together and clean up the areas surrounding their borehole. This practice ought to be promoted.
