Estimated Annual O&M cost
• Because it is a gravity scheme there are not many O&M costs
• Estimated O&M cost is 5,000 birr/year• WUA is not employing any workers• To cover this cost hh would have to contribute
1 birr/hh/month.• Does not include income from showers (50
cents/shower)
![Page 16: By Mike Wood, WASH Adviser, Finn WASH BG Programme](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062813/568165b3550346895dd8abb1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Examples of other tariffs
• Gilgel Beles, people pay 20 cents/jerry can or 8 birr/cu.m
• Debre Zeit, Wombera, people are paying 50 cents/jerrycan
![Page 17: By Mike Wood, WASH Adviser, Finn WASH BG Programme](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062813/568165b3550346895dd8abb1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Tariff recommendations per jerry can; Dafili
• To cover O&M costs• Paying 5 cents/jc x 4 jc/day = 20 cents x 310 hh
= 62 birr x 30 = 1,860 birr/month• 22,320 birr/year • Would cover O&M costs and create savings.• 5 c/jc same as paying 6 birr/hh/month
![Page 18: By Mike Wood, WASH Adviser, Finn WASH BG Programme](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062813/568165b3550346895dd8abb1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Recommended tariff for Dafili users

Byelaws
• Reason for low tariff was that poor households said they could not pay more
• The community has not had to pay for water before; not used to paying for something they consider should be free (God given)
• Awareness campaign was conducted by Mandura Woreda Water office to convince users that water supplied near to their homes had a cost and therefore had economic value which should be paid for.

Challenges
• WUA executive committee does not meet regularly as stated in the byelaws but it meets when there is a need to.
• Executive committee needs more training on management issues and tariff setting
• The actual O&M cost has to be worked out (the WUA are not employing anyone).
• Still need practical training in how to maintain the system
![Page 27: By Mike Wood, WASH Adviser, Finn WASH BG Programme](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062813/568165b3550346895dd8abb1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
Challenges continued
• Need to assist WUA Executive Committee in having an agreement with local artisan to provide plumbing services to maintain the system e.g. replacing gate valves & taps
• Need to better regulate use of water for irrigation during dry season
• More awareness on sanitation and hygiene issues like hand washing with soap
