10. Inauguration Ceremony  Inaugurated February 13, 2012

11. Other Uses  Backyard gardening Vegetables, such as onions, potatoes, cabbage, carrots, etc Ensures the sustainability of the scheme

12. Challenges  Regulations not yet in place WUA didn’t obtain legal status  Non existence of the private sector in repair and maintenance Rely on the Woreda Water Office

13. Way Forward  Put in place Regulations ASAP  Train local Artisans in repair and maintenance Develop payment guideline
