An overview of Xetorlogo, Ghana, a community looking for more ways to access water.
Published on: 26/06/2012
Xetorlogo, is a farming community in the Akatsi District in the Volta Region. Even though the community has a borehole, it is not adequate for its more than 760 residents. The residents are asking for more water. This notwithstanding, the existing borehole is functional and continues to serve the community with clean water. Its sustainability, however, cannot be guaranteed since the Water and Sanitation Committee has been able to save only GHS 600.00 (US$ 310 dollars) over a period of five years, funds it hopes to use to maintain and fix the borehole anytime it breaks down.There are fears that in view of the amount they will not be able to carry out any major rehabilitation, when the need arises.
