Establish why some people still use river water and if their income has any influence on their behavior. Determine the awareness of the people on their health status in relation to the use of safe water. During the study , qualitative research method was used to investigate the situation. It became evident from the research that majority of the Mbwembwe and Kirao estates are currently not using the tap water adequately as was intended. This is due to various factors as stated in the details of this study. It also became evident that there is need for the management to institute a method of monitoring and evaluation of the situation as a continuing activity. Regular public, possibility by a social worker or PR officer, its also necessary to link the people with the objectives of the project. The management should also be keen on instant repairs in the system whenever any breakdown occurs to avoid disruption of continuous supply.
