THE Juaboso District Assembly in the Western Region has developed a comprehensive five-year community water and sanitation development plan to provide water and sanitation facilities for schools and communities in the district.
The plan, which covers the period 2008 to 2012, will be sponsored by the World Bank, the International Development Agency (IDA) and the European Union. It was submitted to the Community Water and Sanitation Agency (CWSA) in Takoradi.
The Juaboso District Planning Officer, Mr Richard-Nixon Ziork, made this known to the Daily Graphic at Juaboso.
He said most educational institutions and six markets in the district which did not have toilet facilities and markets would be provided with the facilities.
Mr Ziork said household toilet facilities would also be provided, adding that the assembly was sensitising the people to the facilities to enable them to embrace the construction of the facilities in their houses.
According to Mr Ziork, water supply was a problem in some of the communities and so most of the rural communities depended on streams for their source of drinking water which had necessitated the provision of boreholes for the communities.
He said small town water systems, under which ground water would be pumped through mechanised boreholes, would also be provided for the communities.
The planning officer stated that any non-governmental organisation (NGO) in the district which wanted to assist in environmental issues had to consult the sanitation development plan.
