was disclosed that there is a new water source at IRAD farms. An engineer
working with BAWA explained that according to World Bank standards, an
individual should consume 40 litres of water per day, but from their
calculations, an individual in Bambui consumes 65 litres of water per day, 25
litres more than the World Bank standard. It was disclosed that 2.399m3
of water is being pumped daily into the Bambui water system.

was concluded that metres would be installed but customers will only be taxed
to pay for an extra consumption which goes above the normal consumption for a
customer and rates of that extra consumption will be decided by the BOD then
adopted in the congress of next year. The issue of catchment at IRAD farm to go
operational in May this year, addition of sand in the filtration tanks and
chlorine for water perfection, adoption of budget etc were issues clarified at
that congress.
