We have many boreholes which are not working because of non-maintenance programs in the communities. how will you come to know that hand pump is getting some problem while drawing water? Sometimes, there are little noises and sometimes it's too loud but people are drawing water out of it and not complaining then it becomes a serious issue and one day, it's completely broke down and stop working. It's always important while drawing water if you find some issues then immediately report to the authorities so area mechanic of that borehole can fix it up in the beginning with little charges and change few spares which are not expensive. if users ignore then it becomes major damage which will be expensive to sort it out.
If you think about development and sustainability then it is necessary that there should be one program of maintenance for each zone to inspect each borehole after every 6 months by expert area mechanic. if there is any problem then he can fix it before it damages other parts of borehole hand pump. this is the way to maintain the life of borehole Afridev hand pump longer than ever. Communities or Users should not hesitate to report if they find any unusual things to the authorities so they can immediately take an action.
ESS ESS Malawi trying it's best to reach to all districts of Malawi to support the supply chain of spares for borehole spare parts. Therefore, join our hands to move forward to serve all Malawians and provide them clean drinking water.
