Hi Guma, how about curtailing the wastage on the water supply. Fixing of the meter without water reaching desire destination is a fruitless endeavor. The real issue is to minimise water loss through open pipe, damage line of supply and gravity increase to increase water accessibility. But the real fact is that, the water waste on the street of Freetown is more than that, that get to people’s home. By just correcting that would give GUMA more people water with ncreased accessibility and of cause more money for the company.
