The community agrees by contract to pay for maintenance costs. Each well committee collects approximately $250 per year for this purpose. In order to ensure well functionality and monitor its use, The Samburu Project spends approximately $160 per year per well. This comes from our general fund, which is maintained by individual donations. We are currently organizing an updated system for part replacement to decrease the time the well remains broken. More attention should be given to wells prone to overuse that is due to high population density, as they are more likely to break and more detrimental to the community when they do. |
