Field notes
The project combines household connections with community water kiosks and identifies schools and health facilities as additional customers. Its current postpaid billing model is described as a cash-flow constraint affecting electricity and repairs, while prepaid smart metering is presented as the proposed remedy. The homepage also lists bottled water for local outlets and events as a second revenue stream.
