1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 General
The National Water Supply and Sanitation (WATSAN) Program urban
component aims to improve the health and living conditions of urban dwellers
by helping them improve their water supply, sanitation, and hygiene.

To achieve the above objective, Oromia water resources Bureau in


collaboration with ministry of water resource has been carrying out various
development works related to Water and Sanitation. As one part of the works
under execution by the Bureau, World Bank financed Water Supply and
Sanitation Improvement Program, Urban component is under way in the region.
Group 2 towns namely: Gulliso, Segno Geba, Getema and Kombolcha are East
and West Wellega towns considered under this program.

1.2 Scope of the Study


The following are the general activities executed and submitted to the OWRB
and the TWB by the Consultant:
 Survey of the existing sanitation condition of the town;
 Asses existing Hygiene conditions of the community;
 Asses the existing mass awareness on sanitation and personnel hygiene;
 Survey appropriate technology to improve the local sanitation standard;
 Prepare a strategy based on concept such as hygiene education,
environmental health, health promotion and environmental protection in
action;
 Prepare detail drawings and cost estimates;
 Propose mode of implementation and
 Propose of Integrated water supply and Sanitation matrix

1.3 Objective of this Study


The overall objective of this project includes;
 Improving and expansion of Sanitation services under systemized and
organized municipality service management.
 Assessment of the strength, weakness, opportunity and treat of the
sanitation in order to come up with long term remedies.
 To expand the coverage of improved sanitation facilities to the
underserved populations, especially to poor and remote areas, and
 To improve health and hygiene practices related to waterborne and
sanitation-related diseases.

1.4 Planning horizon


Like that of water supply project integrated sanitation plan is also designed for
the period of ten years, from year 2008 to year 2017.

1.5 Methodology
It is recognized that many excellent locally-developed solutions for the rural
town heath problems are already being practiced. This guide is not intended as
indispensable guide prescription for promoting improved health in the town, but
rather as source material from which the municipality can develop a model that
can be used when implanting the activities.

For quantitative and qualitative analyzing the existing water supply and
sanitation services of the town different methodologies are used. Among these
methodologies collecting the existing sanitation condition of the town, literature
review, stakeholder consultation and analysis and site visits are the primary
methods used.

1.6 Existing Sanitation conditions of the Town


During commencement of the Water Supply and Sanitation Improvement
Program, Kombolcha town Water Supply and Sanitation condition was at worst
condition. Particularly, the Water Supply Utility is at a position to interrupt
service due to scarcity of source and financial problem. Similarly, the sanitation
condition in the town was becoming worse and worse. There was no proper
accountability; there was no satisfactory awareness among the dwellers.
However, within the First Step-I works some improvements were observed
regarding both Water Supply and Sanitation services.

1.7 Improvements made during step I and II


Sanitation and Personal hygiene
Regarding Sanitation and hygiene education, most of the excreta disposal
facilities such as pit latrines are poorly constructed and managed before the
commencement of Step-I program. To improve the sanitation and hygiene
conditions of the town, construction of two public toilets and two dry waste
disposal sites were planed under step I and implemented in step II of this
program. Under step I & II program, mass awareness on Hygiene and sanitation
was given to all level of stakeholders of the town. As a result, the town
dwellers organized through the municipality have expressed their commitment
towards the program by erecting road side posts with high lights on the
importance of personal hygiene and protecting their environment at community
level.

As indicated above some improvement works on sanitation, personal hygiene


and environmental protections in Kombolcha town are planned implemented in
5 STRETCH CONSULTANTS PLC
Water Supply and Sanitation Improvement Program Urban Component, Integrated Sanitation plan, Kombolcha

step I and II of this program. It is obvious that this improvement cannot solve
permanently the problems connected with sanitation and personnel hygiene of
the community. Therefore, planning long-term solution is mandatory to alleviate
the problems associated with sanitation. Sanitation integrated with Water supply
is designed as a solution to be implemented for given design period.

1.8 Integration Sanitation Plan


Integrated Sanitation Plan (ISP) is designed for the Town municipality to give
long term solutions for the planning horizon of ten years and is prepared to give
the long-term solution.

Sanitation technologies are strongly linked to the available service level of


water supply. Different types of sanitation technologies are proposed for
different water supply service levels. Some systems, which require large
quantities of water such as conventional sewerage, cannot be provided in areas
that rely on hand-carried water supplies from public tabs. On the other hand, pit
latrines cannot cope with the large volumes of wastewater that are produced
from the house with an individual water connection and internal plumbing
system. Sanitation technology selection must therefore be considered in to
water supply service level.

Different sanitation technologies options commonly used are selected in relation


to the type of water supply services, that include house connection (HC), yard
connection (YC), and public water points (PWP). Among these technologies the
following are the main ones;
a) Improved traditional pit latrines/for household/;
o Ventilated improved pit latrines (VIP);
o Ventilated improved double-pit latrines (VIDP);
o Pour –flash toilets (PF)
b) Communal/public latrines
c) School latrines
d) Solid waste disposals
e) Liquid waste disposals
 Sullage
 Storm water drainage
 Septic tanks
 Soak away pits
Generally for house holds provided with;
 House connection(HC) water supply, flash toilets,
 Yard connections(YC), VIP latrines or higher grade toilets and
 Public water points (PWP), traditional pit latrines or higher grade toilets
are recommended to be installed.

Water Supply and Sanitation Improvement Program Urban Component, Integrated Sanitation plan, Kombolcha

Different technological types of solid waste disposal are analyzed and the most
feasible and economical way of solid waste disposal for small towns is
recommended. In the implementation of step I of this program; two dry waste
disposal sites were constructed by the contractor and community.

Regarding liquid waste disposals, in addition to the use of soak away pits, the
strategic plan envisages construction of drainage ditches along the streets.
Here in this town, the storm drainage ditches along the main road constructed
in the town is blocked at some places by rubbish and debris. The plan also
proposes to the municipality to establish and enforce municipal laws concerning
prohibition of solid waste disposal in drainage ditches.

Hygiene education and awareness creation are also set as strategic plan to be
given for the community with in the planning period. Provision of water supply
and sanitation services alone will not achieve their objectives unless
complemented with hygiene education and behavioral changes.

The achievement of water supply and sanitation objectives depends upon a


combination of education, improvement in personal hygiene and appropriate
water supply and sanitation technologies.

Education promotion of community, awareness or hygiene education will


definitely requires a long time and time to time contact with the community to
fully change the attitude of the whole residents, based on the inputs from the
various stakeholders:

 The municipality in coordination with TWB is the responsible body to


coordinate and plan for promotion of community awareness.
 The TWB with municipality should have a broad goal of community
development, with sanitation, water supply and hygiene education as its
priority.
 It is also recommended that representatives of the various ethnic,
economic, religious, and political sector of each Kebele shall form a
committee of hygiene education.

Integrated sanitation is planned to be implemented with different stake holders.


Municipality, any interested non governmental organizations, the town dwellers
and the town water and sanitation board in collaboration with the Utility are
expected to implement the plan.

All types of the toilets required at house holds are expected to be constructed
by the residents them selves with their own cost. Dry waste disposal sites and
Public shower and toilets are expected to be constructed by municipality, may
7 STRETCH CONSULTANTS PLC
Water Supply and Sanitation Improvement Program Urban Component, Integrated Sanitation plan, Kombolcha

be with financial aid from this program. Latrines that are at public services like
school, health centers, religion places and bus stations are expected to be
implemented by responsible body.

However, a sample public shower integrated with Toilet is proposed for each
town to be implemented by the budget of this program.

2 INTRODUCTION
2.1 General
Under Oromia Regional State, the Oromia Water Resources Bureau has been
working on various development works in the Water Sector since its
establishment. The development works have been carried out through various
programs managed under the Bureau. Water Supply and Sanitation Improvement
Program urban component is among others. In the western part of the region,
four towns namely Gulliso, Segno Geba, Getema and Kombolcha have got the
opportunity to be beneficiary.

The Water Supply and Sanitation (WATSAN) Program urban component aims to
improve the health and living conditions of urban dwellers by helping them
improve their water supply, sanitation, and hygiene.

This program is to be carried out in Step by step approach as indicated in the


Step-I Completion Report. Following accomplishment of the First Step, as
stated on the terms of reference (TOR), implementation of immediate service
improvement works and study of long-term project continues.

Accordingly, in Kombolcha town improvement works on sanitation, personal


hygiene and environmental protections are under implementation and this
Integrated Sanitation Plan (ISP) is designed for the Town municipality for the
planning horizon of ten years and is prepared to give the long-term solution.

2.2 Project Background


During commencement of the Water Supply and Sanitation Improvement
Program, Kombolcha town Water Supply and Sanitation condition was at worst
condition. Particularly, the Water Supply Utility is at a position to interrupt
service due to scarcity of source and financial problem. Similarly, the sanitation
condition in the town was becoming worse and worse. There was no proper
accountability; there was no satisfactory awareness among the dwellers.
However, within the First Step-I works some improvements were observed
regarding both Water Supply and Sanitation services. It is obvious that this
improvement cannot solve permanently the problem. Therefore, planning long-
term solution is mandatory to alleviate the problems associated with these
infrastructures. Thus, Stretch Consultants conducted project study as a solution
in its Step-II assignment of Agreement entered with OWRB.

The Consultant has assessed various scenarios to propose sustainable and


dependable solution to address this critical issue. Sanitation services in the

town, some improvement works are planned together with the Water Supply
system.

2.3 Scope of the Study


The following are the general activities expected to be executed and submitted
to the OWRB and the TWB. Accordingly, the Consultant executed the following
works:
 Conduct socioeconomic base line survey
 Asses existing conditions of the sanitation conditions
 Survey appropriate technology to improve the local sanitation standard
 Prepare a strategy based on concept such as hygiene education,
environmental health, health promotion and environmental protection in
action,
 Prepare detail drawings and cost estimates
 Propose mode of implementation

2.4 Objective of this Study


The overall objective of this project includes;
 Improving and expansion of Sanitation services under systemized and
organized municipality service management.
 Assessment of the strength, weakness, opportunity and treat of the
sanitation in order to come up with long term remedies.
 To expand the coverage of improved sanitation facilities to the
underserved populations, especially to poor and remote areas, and
 To improve health and hygiene practices related to waterborne and
sanitation-related diseases.
Through the physical implementation of various facilities, the project will
address the following key issues:
 Capacity and capability development of the user communities to plan, co-
finance, implement, manage, operate, and maintain improved WSS
facilities;
 Increase participation of all women, increase hygiene education through
awareness campaigns, provide efficient and cost-effective support to
communities and local authorities; support the implementation of water
sector development program (WSDP) to serve for the program period
2008-2017;
 Support and strengthen the government’s decentralization efforts by
focusing project activities and decision making at the local authorities and
community levels.

2.5 Planning horizon


Like that of water supply project integrated sanitation plan is also designed for
ten years, from year 2008 to year 2017.

2.6 Methodology
It is recognized that many excellent locally-developed solutions for the rural
town heath problems are already being practiced. This guide is not intended as
indispensable guide prescription for promoting improved health in the town, but
rather as source material from which the municipality can develop a model that
can be used when implanting the activities.

In order to get sufficient raw data the following collection methodologies were
employed for both quantitative and qualitative types for use of analyzing the
existing water supply and sanitation services of the town.
2.6.1 Integrated Sanitation Survey
The following methodologies are used for assessing the existing sanitation
conditions and to formulate for the future integrated sanitation design:
2.6.2 Literature review
The team focused on gaps in the sector literature review with specific emphasis
on the emerging volume of urban reports.

2.6.3 Stakeholder consultation and analysis


The team has made a number of visits to interview a broad raft of stakeholders
as well as conducting extensive team brainstorming with WSP staff.
2.6.4 Field visits
Visits were made to assess private and public toilet managements, solid waste
management and Environmental managements.
2.6.5 The Way Forward
A team of experts has conducted a reality check with the Woreda Desks and the
Town municipality of the proposed list of fundable software and hardware items
as well as the unit costs.
2.6.6 Analyses
The planning methodology used for this integrated is based on the analysis of
the following conditions:
 Analysis of existing sanitation conditions of the town;
 Analysis of existing Environmental drainage
 Analysis of existing sanitation and personal hygiene
 Analysis of socio economic condition of the town
 Analysis of least cost technological options
 Analysis of the community awareness on sanitation and personal hygiene
protection.
 Also analysis of the water supply service level

2.6.7 Planning
The main criteria for planning of integrated Sanitation plan is to know the
service level of the town water supply system. This is because Sanitation
technologies are strongly interconnected with the availability of service level of
water supply.

3 EXISTING SANITATION SITUATION


3.1 Existing Excreta Disposal Systems
Most of the excreta disposal facilities comprise pit latrines that are poorly
constructed, offensive and are over filled due to lack of a vacuum truck for de
sludging means.

The sample survey indicates that most households are not satisfied with the
type of latrines they use due to the poor sanitary conditions and
inappropriateness for children and old people. This leads people to go to open
field for defecation, which is hazardous to health.

The detail mode of sanitation and disposal system of the town is described in
the following sub-sections.

3.2 Private Pit Latrine


More than half of the inhabitants have their own pit latrines and those without
pit latrine prefer to dispose their excreta in the open fields near the town.
Coverage of private pit latrines in the town as per information gathered from
the Socioeconomic survey conducted is shown in the following table:

Table: 3.1 Private pit latrines (PPL) percent coverage

Source: From Socioeconomic survey conducted

12 STRETCH CONSULTANTS PLC


Water Supply and Sanitation Improvement Program Urban Component, Integrated Sanitation plan, Kombolcha

Regarding the construction materials of the private toilets, the survey indicates
that most of the construction material of the toilets is made of mud, wood walls
and corrugated iron roof. The maintenance of many of the toilet facilities is not
only poor but total neglected. When the traditional pit latrines get filled up, new
pit latrines constructed, if they have space. Otherwise they resort to the use of
open field for excreta disposal.

In addition improved environment management, proper dry waste management


plays a vital role. However, due to limited awareness about dry waste disposal
attention is not given to this issue. In most cases dry waste from human
activities and similar garbage are simply damped anywhere in the town.
Awareness regarding dry waste disposal and adverse effect of improper
disposal is very limited.

The town topography is characterized by flat topography and is not as such


convenient for drainage.

The survey made on 192 Households with regard to pit latrines has come out
with the following results pertaining to toilet facilities.

Table: 3.2 Distribution of Households by type of toilet facilities used


S.N Toilet type Respondent Percent
1 Traditional Private pit Latrine 70 36.8
2 Ventilated pit latrine 13 6.8
3 Traditional shared pit Latrine 62 32.6
4 Private flush toilet _ _
5 Shared flush toilet _ _
6 Other 45 21
Source: From socioeconomic survey conducted

The tabulation above indicates that 53% Households out of 192 have dry pit
latrines for toilet facilities, those households who do not have any toilet
facilities use open field for disposing excreta.

3.3 Communal latrines


Communal latrines can be dry or water dependent type. The latrines are
suitable for densely populated areas where individual latrines cannot be
constructed due to space problem and for market areas where there are large
number of users during market days. Communal latrines are also very essential
at Bus stations where many peoples can be collected in one place that needs
proper sanitation facilities. During the implementation of first step, Kombolcha

town constructed public toilet at


bus station and at a place
where many people are using the
toilet.

Some of
the
sanitation

improvements made in the town during the


implementation of step I are as shown on the
photograph below.

Figure: 3.1 Public toilet under construction

Figure: 3.2 Awareness creation made by


TWB and Utility

3.4 Septic tanks


Septic tanks are proposed for
housing units with an in-house/yard
water supply services, for a group
of households with pour-flush
toilets and for hotels and
institutions. Currently, there is no
entity or private has their own
septic tank facility.

14 STRETCH CONSULTANTS PLC


Water Supply and Sanitation Improvement Program Urban Component, Integrated Sanitation plan, Kombolcha

3.5 Ventilation Improved Pit Latrines (VIP 1)


This latrine is superior to conventional pit latrines in that offensive smell is
substantially reduced and breeding of flies is discouraged. This latrine is
suitable for individual households. Where there is enough space for two latrines
in a compound, two pits are constructed and used alternatively. Currently no
such system exists.

3.6 Solid Waste Collection and Disposal


3.6.1 Public
It has been observed that Kombolcha, like other rural towns, is suffering from
uncontrolled tipping of solid waste. As a result, all solid wastes generated by
the household are dumped in any open field or drainage ditches available which
in turn causes nuisance to the community.

The current usage of plastic bags has become a problem to the society as they
are thrown anywhere after use. Since this material is not biodegradable, it lasts
long and is creating a problem to domestic animals that feed on waste. This is
because it is not digested in the animal’s stomach and as a result it has been
reported that some animals that scavenge on this refuse have died. To mitigate
this problem, proper handling of solid wastes is found mandatory. For collection
of refuse from densely populated area, communal bins that can serve a group of
households are appropriate.
3.6.2 Commercial Areas
The solid wastes generated in commercial areas are also dumped in open fields
and drainage ditches. This problem is clearly observed in open market areas.
3.6.3 Health Institutions
Most health centers have conventional incinerator, where the solid waste
generated by the center is burnt. The ash from the incinerator is dumped in an
open pit located inside the health center compounds. This has to be
encouraged.
3.6.4 Schools
There is no hazardous waste generated at the schools. Most of the solid waste
is scraped paper but this material can be recycled or burnt in the compounds.
Burning of this material can be done in a simple pit, which could be dug inside
the school compound.
3.7 Waste disposal systems
3.7.1 Vacuum truck
The town has no vacuum truck service. The only municipality owned two
latrines in the town not currently giving service to the public because the pits
are caved and the houses collapsed as a result of poor design and construction.

3.7.2 Communal Solid waste disposal sites


In the town there are two communal solid waste disposal sites under operation.
However, the disposal sites are not properly constructed and protected. From
the survey made regarding dry solid waste disposal, the following results have
been obtained.

The dumping of any solid wastes in open field has created environmental
pollution, water contamination, and health hazards especially to children.

3.7.3 Liquid Waste Disposal


There is no liquid waste disposal system currently. Access to such facilities
except to be seen in the future strategic plan of the town. From the residents
response to survey conducted during the assessment, the following data are
obtained;

3.7.3.1 Sewerage system


Sewerage system for collecting and disposing waste water from individual
residence require a huge capital. However, at the level of such small towns
creating wakefulness among the community about liquid waste management is
basic task.

3.7.3.2 Slaughter Houses Waste


As far as slaughter houses are considered Kombolcha town has one abattoir.
The liquid waste from the abattoir, including blood and intestinal matter, is
discharged to open ditches, which have insufficient gradient to operate.

3.7.3.3 Industrial Waste


Regarding Industrial waste, there are no Firms in the town that has significance
impact on the sanitation sector.

3.7.3.4 Storm water Drainage System


Currently there is only one a simple storm un lined drainage ditch is
constructed along the main road to the town. Sufficient Storm Drainage ditches
should be constructed for proper management of surface run-off in the town.

3.8 Personal Hygiene and Sanitation


3.8.1 Service Coverage
The coverage and quality of health service together with other development
components has a key role in sustaining a given society. In the town for the
year 2007 there are;
 One Government health center,
 One private clinic (Adventist clinic) and
 One private rural drug vendors.
 17 health personnel in the health centre and health office.

3.9 Top Diseases Records


The morbidity statistics indicated diarrhea, intestinal worms, skin disease were
common in the last year. Data of ten top diseases of the town were not
available. However, the data is available at woreda level. The following table
shows prevailing ten top diseases for the year 2007 in the woreda.

3.10 Controlling Water Born Diseases


Because of un availability of sufficient quantity and minimum standard quality of
water in the town, water born disease attacks the resident. This resulted in
harvesting of water from un protected hand dug wells and springs for their
domestic use and commercial activities. Table below depicts water born
diseases and cases in 2007 in the town.

Constraints:
The number of staffs available are not enough compared with the size of the
population of the town both for the Health center and for the Health office.

The water distributed by the Utility is not sufficient to meet the population and
institutional demand in the town. The state owned health center and private
clinics that renders health service for the township frequently faces shortage of
water supply and are forced to use water fetched from, river, spring and hand
dug wells. Health and hygiene education are lectured frequently every morning
to out-patients arriving the clinic. The health center keeps records of the
service rendered

4 ANALYSIS FOR INTEGRATED SANITATION PLAN


4.1 Human excreta and Waste Water
In small towns like Kombolcha, proper sewer line is not available this is
because the existing water supply service level is limited to yard connection
types. This indicates that there is no waste water production and removal
facility. Septic tanks and dry pit latrine are the most commonly used services.
Septic tanks, which retain solids in wet reservoir, require regular emptying. Dry
latrines do not require that service because any water disposed in it will
percolate in to the ground. Proper De sludging service shall be available,
especially in the absence of sewerage system.

However, Connecting soak away pits to septic tanks are more economical and
technological option to minimize the sludge volume and the time for emptying
the tank.

The main criteria relevant in the decision on whether or not to build a sewerage
system are:
 The quantity of waste water produced
 The possibility of collecting this waste water from individual houses
 The feasibility of alternative solutions and
 The limitation on those alternatives (insufficient infiltration capacity of
the sub soil, pollution of ground water, etc)

Therefore, for this town the most feasible and economical sanitation facilities
should be planned. And also some improvements should take place on the
existing private dry latrines.

One of the main improvements required for the toilet facilities is the
construction methods and materials that the toilets are made of. The survey
shows that most of the toilets are made of mud and wood walls with corrugated
iron roof cover. The maintenance of many of the toilet facilities is not only poor
but totally neglected. When the traditional pit latrines get filled up, new pit
latrines constructed, if they have space. Otherwise they resort to the use of
open field for excreta disposal.

Water Supply and Sanitation Improvement Program Urban Component, Integrated Sanitation plan, Kombolcha

In nutshell, the following problems are observed regarding existing private pit
latrines in the town:
 Poor construction
 Lack of ventilation
 No regular cleaning of slabs and drop holes and
 Most pit latrines have no door
In addition, the Wall of the pits was not constructed by stone masonry.
Currently many people use the vicinity of the town areas for open field excreta
disposal.

Regarding public/communal latrines, their construction are mostly


recommended for group of households in a densely populated area, for bus
station and for market areas. For households in a densely populated area, the
communal latrine proposed is the dry VIP latrine while for the market water-
dependent system type are more viable. For the water dependent communal
latrine, it is recommended to include urinals. Where water provision is not
accessible, the dry type communal latrine multiple pit VIP latrines are used.
The communal latrine at the market area and at the bus station is assumed to be
administered by the administration of the town.

For the sake of health among the other the municipality of the town should be
encouraged to construct public latrines. In so doing, their sustainability should
not be overlooked, as their operation and maintenance require due attention.
The town’s community and the municipality need to consider this aspect
seriously in order to make appropriate use of public latrines. The municipality
also needs to revise development strategies in this area to bring about long
lasting solution. These may include the introduction of group and public latrines
simultaneously, by identifying target areas of kebeles.

A projection has been made of possible types of sanitation facilities, the volume
of sludge these generate and the collection capacity required. The main points
required for this forecast is the technical relation between water supply and
waste water facilities. For calculation purpose a simple water supply and
Sanitation relation matrix is used.

4.2 Solid Waste disposal


In the town there are two communal solid waste disposal sites under operation.
However, the disposal sites are not properly constructed and protected. From
the survey made regarding dry solid waste disposal, the following results have
been obtained.

Table: 4.2 Dry waste disposal of the town dwellers


S.N Disposal System Respondent Percent
1 Through Municipal collection _ _
2 Burn in their compound 69 35.94
3 Disposing on their garden 12 6.25
4 Open field 93 48.44
5 Open Pit 18 9.38
Source: From Socioeconomic survey conducted

The dumping of any solid wastes in open field has created environmental
pollution, water contamination, and health hazards especially to children.

In addition improved environment management, proper dry waste management


plays a vital role. However, due to limited awareness about dry waste disposal
attention is not given to this issue. In most cases dry waste from human
activities and similar garbage are simply damped anywhere in the town.
Awareness regarding dry waste disposal and adverse effect of improper
disposal is very limited.

4.3 Liquid Waste disposal

The liquid waste disposal system in Kombolcha town is not yet practiced. As
the town, Kombolcha is categorized as small rural town, provision of sewerage
system for collecting and disposing waste water from individual residence
requires a huge investment. Disposal of sullage is mostly performed on open
fields adjacent to their home and one open ditches provided for environmental
drainage. Therefore, provision of soak away pits at any household area is
recommended for proper disposal of sullage. The following table shows sample
survey of the town liquid waste disposal on few house holds.

4.4 Personal hygiene and Sanitation


Sanitation Promotion and Hygiene Education need to be given prior attention.
The initial focus in this component has to be awareness creation in community
and house hold behavior and sanitation practices towards breaking the fecal-
oral chain.

One best entry point may be, incorporating sanitation promotion and hygiene
education as part of the elementary school curriculum. This has again to be
supported with strengthening the school sanitation clubs. Students should also
demonstrate their acceptance by having clean latrines at their schools and
promote the idea to their homes.

Current conditions proved the schools latrines are offensive to use, bad lesson
to take home. One important aspect on the hardware is the inclusion of urinals
to boys’ latrines to have a water line where available. Urinals substantially
decrease dirtying squatting plates and reduce the services burden of toilets.

Personal hygiene and sanitation are highly correlated with the sufficient
distribution of water supply. However, the water distributed by the Utility is not
sufficient to meet the population and institutional demand in the town. The state
owned health center and private clinics that renders health service for the
township frequently faces shortage of water supply and are forced to use water
fetched from, river, spring and hand dug wells. Health and hygiene education
are lectured frequently every morning to out-patients arriving the clinic. The
health center keeps records of the service rendered. But this problem can be
solved after implementation of Step-3 water supply project plan.

4.5 Environmental Drainage


There is no proper drainage system in the town except the drainage ditch
constructed along the main road of the town. In other parts of the town,
drainage ditches are not constructed for proper management of surface run-off.
However, the town topography is characterized by gentle to steepy slopes and
is convenient for drainage.

23 STRETCH CONSULTANTS PLC


Water Supply and Sanitation Improvement Program Urban Component, Integrated Sanitation plan, Kombolcha

Therefore, proper environmental drainage facility should be planned so that the


town municipality will implement with in the targeted design period.

5 PROPOSED INTEGRATED SANITATION PLAN


5.1 General
Water supply and Sanitation are highly interconnected. With improved service
level and increased quantities of water are supplied in to the town, adequate
facilities have to be in place to allow the evacuation of the additional water;
otherwise there may be adverse impacts on the environmental health
conditions. Thus, parallel planning of provision of sanitation facilities and water
supply is essential.

5.2 Sanitation and Water


Sanitation technologies are strongly linked to the available service level of
water supply. Some systems, which require large quantities of water such as
conventional sewerage, cannot be provided in areas that rely on hand-carried
water supplies from public tabs. On the other hand, pit latrines cannot cope with
the large volumes of wastewater that are produced from the house with an
individual water connection and internal plumbing system. Sanitation technology
selection must therefore be considered in to water supply service level.

5.3 Waste Water Volumes and Sewerage


Therefore, households consuming sufficient quantity of water, i.e. those which
have a private house connection can technically be served by sewer.

The potential number of customers of a sewerage service is therefore limited to


private water connection users. In addition there is a potential to serve non-
domestic water users with sewers as these may consume and generate
significant quantity also.

The following table shows calculated potential of sewer customers, the


domestic and non domestic water consumption potential and the volume of
waste water produced. The volume of waste water produced is estimated as a
percentage of water consumption. Most of the time the volume of waste water
is estimated in the range of 70% to 80% of the water consumed.

Even if it is optimistically assumed that all domestic house water connection


users and all non domestic water users are disposing of their wastewater via
sewers, the total volume remains small. In the planning year 2017 it amounts to
only 163.9 m3/day which is less than the average flow. This is too small to base
a sewer clients will live in the same area close together.

The potential number of customers is also small, only 345 in year 2017.
Therefore, it is clearly seen from the computation that sewerage is technically
not feasibly for this town and other feasible technological option of sanitation
facility is recommended.

5.4 Plan of Toilet Facilities


Depending of their service, toilets can be categorized as: private toilets/house
hold size/, Public toilets and school toilets. The design criteria also varies with

27 STRETCH CONSULTANTS PLC


Water Supply and Sanitation Improvement Program Urban Component, Integrated Sanitation plan, Kombolcha

some common characteristics. For all types of toilets the following design
considerations shall be considered;
 Toilets should be airy and light. It shall good ventilation, which can be
achieved by erecting only 1.8 to 2 m high walls and keeping 0.5 to 0.8 m
open between the wall and the roof.
 Make adequate space/one should be able to turn freely/
 Provide hand wash facilities
 Use tiles and other smooth finishing at floors and least the lower 1m of
all inner walls
 Keep cleanliness and the ability to keep it clean are crucial for the
sustainability of public toilet.
 The septic tank be accessible for desludging/for flash toilets
 The over flow of the septic tank shall run through a series of soak pits,
or may discharge in to open drain/ for flash toilets
 Carry out infiltration tests before sizing the soak-away pits/ for flash
toilets
 An environment impact estimate of the disposal option is recommended
 Separate disposal of black water (through the septic tank) and grey water
(direct to the ditch) may be recommended.
 Give due attention to levels, grades and slopes
Beside the above design considerations, the following points should be used for
public toilets;
 Locate the building in visible, easily accessible spot. There is no need to
hide from the public eye.
 Public toilet with 5 seats can theoretically serve for 50 peoples per hour,
250 to 400 peoples per day; largely sufficient for bus stations, and good
as first trial at the market area.
 Give some attention to architectural attractiveness
 Provide separate seats and entrance for men and women (at the opposite
side of the building, not at the rear)
 Charge for the service, and provide toilet paper with it
 A typical arrangement for a toilet block and public shower are given in
the drawing album of this document.
 For school latrines it is recommended to use 50 users/hole

The most commonly recommended sanitary technologies for household are


categorized in to four major groups as follows:
Improved traditional pit latrines;
 Ventilated improved pit latrines (VIP);
 Ventilated improved double-pit latrines (VIDP);
 Pour –flash toilets (PF)

28 STRETCH CONSULTANTS PLC


Water Supply and Sanitation Improvement Program Urban Component, Integrated Sanitation plan, Kombolcha

The above sanitation technologies are selected in relation to the type of water
supply services, that include house connection (HC), yard connection (YC), and
public water points (PWP).

5.5 De-sludging Requirements


In small towns like Kombolcha, currently there is no de-sludging services
accustomed but it is essential that the septic tanks and latrine pits periodically
emptied.

A projection has been made of possible types of sanitation facilities, the volume
of sludge these generate and the collection capacity required. A key to this
forecast is the technical relation between water supply and waste water
facilities. For calculation purpose, a simple relation is assumed and shown in the
following table.

Table: 5.2 Water supply and sanitation relation matrix


Water supply Connection Sanitation facility

Water Supply and Sanitation Improvement Program Urban Component, Integrated Sanitation plan, Kombolcha

The demand for de-sludging is depend on the volume of sludge generated in


each tank of the respecting house hold. It also depends on the type of sanitary
facilities.

Septic tanks, which retain solids in a wet reservoir, require regular emptying.
Dry pit latrines do not require that service because any water disposed in it will
percolate in to the ground. When the dry pit is full with (dry) sludge, the pit is
covered and a new one dug else where. In larger towns ‘’wet’’ pits become
common. They are semi lined pits of a more permanent nature. When the pit is
full, it is usually emptied for reuse, because of limitations in space in the
household’s yard. Such a facility thus constitutes a market for desludging
services.

From the design album of the drawing, it is shown that a typical septic tank has
a capacity of 12 m3, which is recommended for a house hold size. To know the
volume sludge produced the following assumption are used:
 Waste generation rate = 250g/c/day
 House hold size = six persons
 Waste density at house = 500gr/lit
Therefore, waste can be generated from one house per day = 1500g/day or
0.003m3/day (1.1m3/year). Thus, the house hold septic tank requires emptying
every ten years.

5.6 Plan for Disposal of Solid Waste


Solid waste disposal is dry waste disposal from any human activities. Solid
waste disposal has different sanitary technologies.
5.6.1 Drop-off systems
This is a system by which individuals bring the refuse to central collection
points. In this system the solid waste is collected at one point and emptying and
disposal by service provider. This type of sanitary technology is mostly used in
bigger towns where the service providers are easily available and therefore it
is not common and economical in small town like Kombolcha.
5.6.2 Pick-up systems
This is a system by which service providers collect the solid waste from door-
to-door and refuse directly transported to the dump or reloaded on to truck for
disposal. This type of disposal system is usually used in Addis Ababa. Like that
of disposal system in section a) this is also most common in bigger towns and
also needs more service providers.
5.6.3 Non motorized systems
This is a system in which the refuse transported from the households with
simple vehicle or hand or animal drawn carts, bicycle, rickshaws, etc.
5.6.4 Motorized systems
This is a system in which the solid Waste transportation with motorized
vehicles with bigger load and distance capacities.
5.6.5 Composting
This is Aerobic fermentation of organic refuse components by bacteria and
compost Worms.
5.6.6 Small scale landfills
This is type of waste disposal system by which the residual waste is depositing
in earth trenches, subsequently covered with earth after separating out valuable
fractions.

31 STRETCH CONSULTANTS PLC


Water Supply and Sanitation Improvement Program Urban Component, Integrated Sanitation plan, Kombolcha

Generally, the most feasible and economical way of solid waste disposal for
small towns is provision of solid waste disposal burning sites for the refuse
transported from each individual house holds and surroundings.

In the implementation of step I of this program; two dry waste disposal sites
were constructed by the contractor and community.

The site for dry waste disposal was located by town municipality, for proper
use of the community. Refuse collection bins/sacks shall be prepared at house
hold level and the peoples shall be instructed to properly collect and dump their
house hold refuses into the main solid waste disposal site at least once a week
and the municipality is responsible to manage the disposed waste.

5.7 Plan for Sullage disposal


Sullage is the term given to household liquid waste, which does not contain
excreta. Sullage could cause for environmental pollution. In this town, the
strategic plan for sullage disposal is to encourage households to construct soak
away pit of various sizes depending on the volume of the sullage. Sullage is
presently dumped in open field in front of residential areas and on the nearby
streets. The soak away pits may need lining with stone, adobe, or other local
materials with open joints.

5.8 Plan for Drainage


In addition to the use of soak away pits, the strategic plan envisages
construction of drainage ditches along the streets. Here in this town, the storm
drainage ditches along the main road constructed in the town is blocked at some
places by rubbish and debris. The plan also proposes to the municipality to
establish and enforce municipal laws concerning prohibition of solid waste
disposal in drainage ditches.

5.9 Proposed Domestic Waste Removal System


5.9.1 Communal Sanitation facilities

a) Public Toilet and Public Shower:


Step I: The previously constructed public toilet was around market area
and in the area where the community settlement is dense. However, it was not
connected with any disposal system. As indicated in the previous section few
communal facilities were constructed during the first step of this program.

These are:
 Two public toilets each having six rooms was constructed by the
immediate service improvement budget of this program, and also

32 STRETCH CONSULTANTS PLC


Water Supply and Sanitation Improvement Program Urban Component, Integrated Sanitation plan, Kombolcha

 Two waste disposal sites were constructed.

Step II: For step II implementation; One integrated public toilet with
common shower rooms is recommended for this town. The design drawing is
annexed in the drawing part. However, this type of facility service is for a
group of people, IPTCS is cheaper on per capita basis than individual house
hold latrines.

The facility is designed in such a way that one compartment could serve at
least 25-50 persons. A separate block for women and men has been provided.

The problem with this type of facility is the maintenance aspect. It appears to
belong to no one so there is very little commitment by individuals to keep clean
and operating properly. It is therefore, recommended to provide at least one
paid attendant to keep the facility in good condition.

School Latrines: Pour-flush latrines of the VIP- type should be introduced at


all government Schools. The latrines should be sized at 50 users/hole. The
responsibility for introducing these latrines will lie with the Education
Department at the Woreda level/ or the school administration itself.

b) Pour-Flush Toilets (PFT)


One of the proposed systems in this study is the pour-flush toilet with:
 The pour-flush toilet differs from the cistern kind described above in that
less amount of water is required for flushing.
 The pour-flush bowel is connected to a 100mm diameter pipe of
maximum length of 8 m that discharges into an adjacent pit
 The toilet system has water seal beneath the squatting plate or pedestal
seat and is available in various designs. The two most common basic
types, namely:
 The direct discharge and the offset pit design. both require at least 1 to 2
liters of water (or sludge) to flush the waste.
 PF toilet could also be designed to operate in combination with a septic
tank that is connected to a soak away pit.

The excreta and flush water are discharged, together with all other household
wastewater (sludge), into an underground network of sewers for transport to
waste water (sludge), into an underground net work of sewers for transport to a
waste water treatment works. Alternatively, in low-density areas they may be
discharged in to septic tank.

c) Cistern-Flush Toilets (CFT)


33 STRETCH CONSULTANTS PLC
Water Supply and Sanitation Improvement Program Urban Component, Integrated Sanitation plan, Kombolcha

The conventional cistern-flush toilet is basically a water-seal squatting or


pedestal unit in which excreta are deposited and then flushed away by about 10
to 20 liters of clean, potable water that have been stored in a convenient
cistern; the cistern is connected to the household water supply and is provided
with a float valve so that it automatically refills to the correct volume in
readiness for the next flush.
d) Septic Tanks
Septic tanks are rectangular chambers, usually located just below ground level,
to receive domestic wastewater from flush toilets. The wastewater in the tank
is aerobically digested during 1-3 days of retention time to form sludge and
scum. The sludge should be de-sludged from time to time. The effluent from
the tank is discharged in to a soak away pit.

e) Storm water Drainage


In Kombolcha town, there is only a masonry drainage ditch along the main road
of the town. In planning of a drainage system, the first step would be reviewed
the development plan road layout and optimize these, where possible, to
maximize the drainage efficiency. Therefore, proper drainage ditches should be
planned for the town.

In design of drainage ditch the following criteria’s shall be considered;


 Proper estimation of storm water volume for each interceptor
 Selection of site specific types of road side ditches, e.g. open channels,
channels with partly closed tops, or closed conduits dependent on road
use and side access requirements
 Selection of structural measures, which can be constructed from locally
available materials
 Provision of drop structures wherever the slope is high, in order to
protect ditches from excessive erosion
 Use of good workman ship, appropriate slopes and non erodible materials
 Roadside drains that are not too deep as to cause water service or sewer
connections to pass through the channel
Post implementation measures should include:
 Protection from blockage due to poor solid waste disposal management
 Channel cleaning before rainy seasons
 Provisions of proper maintenance
It shall be noted that fully the town drainage system is not implemented but
work should be commenced at some essential parts of the town.

5.10 Hygiene Education and Awareness Creation


Provision of water supply and sanitation services alone will not achieve their
objectives unless complemented with hygiene education and behavioral
changes.
34 STRETCH CONSULTANTS PLC
Water Supply and Sanitation Improvement Program Urban Component, Integrated Sanitation plan, Kombolcha

Technologies: The achievement of water supply and sanitation objectives


depends upon a combination of education, improvement in personal hygiene and
appropriate water supply and sanitation technologies.

Impacts: In the implementation of step I of this program a number of meetings


were held with the town dwellers, Utility and TWB to give awareness on
sanitation. At present at least some the communities behavior, belief, attitude
is changed and they are fully aware on alternative sanitation technologies
available and how they relate to their needs.

Education promotion: However, the promotion of community awareness or


hygiene education will definitely requires a long time and time to time contact
with the community to fully change the attitude of the whole residents, based on
the inputs from the various stakeholders:
 The municipality in coordination with TWB is the responsible body to
coordinate and plan for promotion of community awareness.
 The TWB with municipality should have a broad goal of community
development, with sanitation, water supply and hygiene education as its
priority.
 It is also recommended that representatives of the various ethnic,
economic, religious, and political sector of each Kebele shall form a
committee of hygiene education.

6 INTEGRATED SANITATION PLAN


6.1 Implementation Plan
Integrated sanitation is planned to be implemented with different stake holders.
Municipality, any interested non governmental organizations, the town dwellers
and the town water and sanitation board in collaboration with the Utility are
expected to implement the plan.

All types of the toilets required at house holds are expected to be constructed
by the residents them selves with their own cost. Dry waste disposal sites and
Public shower and toilets are expected to be constructed by municipality, may
be with financial aid from this program. Latrines that are at public services like
school, health centers, religion places and bus stations are expected to be
implemented by responsible body.

6.1.1 Intervention types


The sanitation facilities proposed at house hold levels are chosen based on
economic benefits, easy of construction at community level and easy of
operation and maintenance. The following assumptions are used for provision of
sanitation facilities;
 40% of the households that have water supply services with house
connections will have some type of flush toilet.
 50% of the households that have yard connections will have VIP or higher
quality toilets
 100% of the households that use public water points and from traditional
sources will have improved traditional pit latrines or VIP latrines or even
higher grade latrines.

The projected water demand for the year 2017 indicates that about 46% the
households in the town draw water from public water points at a consumption
rate of about 20 l/c/d.
 48% to have yard connections at a consumption rate of 30 l/c/d and
 6% with house connection at a consumption rate of about 40 l/c/d.

Table: 6.1 Types and number of toilets up to the year 2017 with respect
household size
S/No. Facilities No
1 Assumed 40% of households with HC install flush toilets 15
2 Assumed 50% of households with YC install VIP latrine or
higher grade toilets 351
3 Assumed 100% of households served by PWP install
traditional pit latrine or higher grade toilets 1368

6.1.2 Cost Estimate


Financial self-sufficiency should be the distant goal to improve Sanitation.
Substantial capital subsidies, usually from the regional government may be
required for water borne sanitation systems. The basis for the cost estimate is
the year 2007 price level. Table 6.3 shows indicative capital and annual
operation and maintenance costs of sanitary and equipment.

The annual operation and maintenance cost is based on the assumption that
most of the work is going to be done by labor only. For equipment, both running

and maintenance cost are included. In arriving at the total investment, operation
and maintenance cost, the following assumptions were made:

6.1.3 Work Schedule


This integrated sanitation plan is designed to be implemented with in the
expected ten years design period by the town resident under the supervisory
role of the town administration. Year 2008 and 2017 are the starting and end of
the design period.
