18 WV KENYA WASH AUTOMATED WATER REVENUE COLLECTION Market-Based Approach to Provide Sustainable Water Solutions to the Rural Poor in Kenya PRESENTED BY: Enock Oruko, Associate Director WASH, WVK

19 Problem Statement Project Sustainability is a desire for every community, private agency or Government as a means of ensuring that positive gains are delivered to the target communities in long term. While emphasis has been placed on the proper management of water resources, challenges remain in terms of water losses and Unaccounted for Water (UFW), which is over 40% in Kenya. (Source: WASREB, Kenya) The International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) says up to US$360m has been spent on building boreholes and wells that then become useless because they are not maintained or fixed when they break down. As a result, 50,000 water supply points are not functioning across rural Africa. (Guardian report March 2009) Revenue collection is a key component of sustainability and therefore without going further to get innovative ways on supporting the initiatives, the planned sustainability in relation to effective revenue collection may not be long term.

20 Project Background World Vision Kenya installed automated revenue collection meters (AQTaps from Grundfos Lifelink) in Kalawa AP in Makueni County and Wema AP in Nakuru County The project introduced an innovative solution for sustainable water supply in the project from Oct 2015 to Dec 2017, specifically designed for lowresource settings with a business model to assist water point operators. The project sought to increase the sustainability of access to safe water, by increasing revenue collection in order to cover operational and maintenance costs, as well as capital expenditure costs in the long-term. Through an in-built pre-payment platform, the Grundfos Lifelink (GLL) solution secures revenue collection to pay for O&M of the water supply systems

21 Project Background Cont d 60 AQTaps were installed in the two project areas operated by 11 WUCs. The AQTap package comes with the access to Grundfos web based Water Management system. The water management system: Relies on electronic control systems, and an internet connection to provide the water point operators with continuous, real-time information on the operational status of each site, including daily water consumption. It ensures that any service interruption can be detected and diagnosed remotely, parts can be ordered (if necessary), and the local service provider (Venture Pumps) can be notified for on-site service and repairs, all with minimum delay.

22 Project Partners Grundfos Lifelink - Manufacture and supply of the AQTaps and capacity building the users on the operation of the AQTaps; provision of the integration for Safaricom and Grundfos systems Venture Pump Services Initial installation and provision of after sales service Safaricom - Mobile network Service provider; they gave the M-Pesa platform for mobile money World Vision (WVUK and WVK)

23 Key Succeses Since the inception and the installation of the automated system, progressive and encouraging results have been recorded regarding revenue collection, amount of safe water dispensed and operational error reporting and trouble shooting. Data revealed that there was an increase in revenue collection as compared to the same period before the installation of the automated system by 102%. In addition the system management report was now available that showed amount of water dispensed, water credits consumed, number of consumers and water dispensed per consumer. The system enabled the detection of operational errors, such as low pressure which enabled quick remedial actions to be done and hence continued water supply.

25 Key Challenges The AQTap relies on GSM for it to synchronise with the server. It therefore becomes a challenge for the system to be fully automated as it is designed in areas with poor telco connectivity. The AQTap is designed for communal use. It becomes a challenge with bulk discharge, like for cattle watering, Connections to institutions as well as Individual connections. Most users are now moving to HH connections in line with SDG.

26 Conclusion The Automated revenue collection systems (AQTaps) installed in the two ADPs have supported the committees that have gone live on the usage, to collect funds and this reflects even in their bank accounts. Management committees have easily picked up the technology which is simple to use to the local community members. The use of AQTaps is scalable and so far has been seen to bring positive change in efficient revenue collection, which in turn leads to enhanced sustainability of rural water projects. The use of Automated revenue collection systems should thus be made part of design for rural water supply systems, in communal points.

27 Recommendations During design stage, incorporation of both public water supply systems and individual connections should be considered when automated revenue collection is being planned. Grundfos should come up with prepaid meters for individual connections. Adoption of prepaid meters that use satellite connectivity and doesn t rely on (Global system for mobile communications) GSM telco network will ensure full time access for the users in remote areas.
