Life-cycle costs of sustainable water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) service delivery - A case study of the Bosomtwe-Atwima-Kwanwoma District (BAKD)
A study conducted in one small town, three borehole pipes and three household latrines.The results show that the Government of Ghana/Partner Agencies provides the investment cost and some aspects of the support cost leaving out the capital maintenance and operation and maintenance costs. These costs are paid by the users of the facilities. Normally the Government of Ghana ignores operation and minor maintenance and replacement which are often paid by the users, but as soon as the users fail to pay for these costs, the system breaks down. The quality of service derived from the house connection is high compared to the communal stand pipe connection. The quality of service of water supply in Abono is relatively low compared to that of Petriensa and Kuntanase though the people are willing to pay more for a better service.
