From data collected at Bay Region we31 sites, these
population estimates appear reasonable. The other major
question relating to these assumpticns concerns whether the cost
of this water could be reasonably borne by a rural community.
Assuming a total daily cansumption of 96 cubic meters far
240 days each year gives an annual consumption of 23,040 cubic
meters per year. At a cost of So.Sh.13 per cubic meter, this
represents a total annual bill to the community of
So.Sh.414,720. Shared among a community of 1,360 people, this
equates to So.Sh.305 per head of population, or approximately
So.Sh.1,500 per household of five persons. This represents the
approximate selling price of two goats.
4.3.0.3. Water Pricing and Cost Recovery
The final analysis, shown in Tables 2.4.22 and 2.4.23,
computes the price for water which would need to be charged if
it were the policy of the Government of Somalia to ensure that
revenues covered the cast of annual operation and maintenance.
A WDA overhead of 40% has been included as in previous
calcufations, and diesel fuel is c~sted at the "border priceg@ of
U.S.SO.39 per liter, The necessary prices per cubic meter are
almost So.Sh,lS for the Bay Region and aver So.Sh.19 for the
Central Range-
Using the local Mogadishu price for diesel of So.Sh.18
(U,S.$0,22) per Ifter, the necessary selling price is reduced to
So.Sh.l2 for the Bay Region, and So.Sh.16 for the Central Range,
At the present time, it is the policy of the government to
maintain a uniforn price thr~ugh~ut the country, so that this
would fall samewhere between these two sets of figures.
In order to recover, the 'fdirect costsw of well
