Welcome to the Accomplishments page of the Edo State Small Town and Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Agency. Explore our achievements and success stories in improving water supply, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services in small towns and rural areas across Edo State. Our accomplishments reflect our commitment to advancing the well-being and prosperity of all residents through access to clean and sustainable water sources and sanitation facilities.
Small Town Water Supply system is designed for areas within the city fringes or communities to cater to a population of between 5,000-20,000 with a minimum supply standard of 100 liters per capita per day with limited reticulation and limited house connections as determined by the beneficiaries/Government.
Sanitation intervention is also in place to reduce people’s exposure to diseases by providing a clean environment in public places and encouraging households within communities to construct and use sanitation facilities, which is one of the strategies for ending Open Defecation in the State.
Discover the infrastructure projects we have completed to expand access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities in underserved communities. From the construction of boreholes and hand pumps to the rehabilitation of water treatment plants and distribution networks, our investments in infrastructure have significantly improved water availability, quality, and reliability for thousands of households and businesses.
Learn about our efforts to empower communities and foster ownership of water supply and sanitation projects through participatory approaches and capacity-building initiatives. Explore stories of community-led initiatives, such as the establishment of water management committees, the construction of community-owned latrines, and the adoption of sustainable sanitation practices, which have empowered residents to take control of their water and sanitation services and contribute to their long-term sustainability.
Explore the health and hygiene impact of our interventions on the lives of residents, particularly in terms of reducing waterborne diseases, improving maternal and child health, and promoting overall well-being.
