This is an issue which requires a holistic approach from both stakeholders( end user and service provider). There is need to make sure there is no contaminated water infiltration close to the borehole to prevent contaminating the source groundwater. Secondly there is need to educate the end user (community) to engage in healthy and safety activities regarding cleaning water maintenance. If the service provider and the end user are able to do this, the issue can be minimised, otherwise to totally eradicate the problem there is need of more advanced approaches prior to the supply of borehole water, probably chlorination before being used.
