| Abstract: | ABSTRACT
The effort of this research is to access the status of household drinking water supply and
sanitation services in Ambo town. The major factors attributed to lower accessibility are
shortage of water supply, high cost of piped water connection, length of process during
connection and frequent interruption. The town has no sewerage system; no adequate and safe
waste disposal sites. Further the municipality has no waste collection and disposal trucks. As
result liquid wastes are released to rivers, ditches and on open spaces. These acts have seriously
contributed to health, socioeconomic and environmental pollution. Community participation in
water supply and sanitation is inadequate due to the weakness of offices or authorities
particularly municipality in coordinating and promoting active community participation. |
