The preventive maintenance strategy involves 1) sensitizing communities about maintenance and training water committees, 2) creating a network of pump officers to supervise pumps and conduct annual diagnoses and repairs, and 3) allowing access to spare parts by identifying suppliers and linking with the water directorate. The strategy aims to promote regular pump check-ups to prevent breakdowns and community contributions for maintenance.
