The school is home to 400 students, between 7–15 years old, and 12 staff
Only 4 water taps available with limited water supply, poor pressure
Urinals that did not flush
Toilet stalls with doors that did not allow light or airflow – and we all know how important airflow is in a hot, humid toilet space

New water tank added to the roof, in order to improve water supply & pressure
New hand washing troughs and 25 hand washing taps added (push taps used in order to reduce water wastage)
Urinals flushed by re-used hand wash water drained into the urinal trough
Toilet stall doors replaced with permanently fixed louvres giving light and constant air flow through the areas
Water meters were installed on the various branch lines of piping to assess water use, tap performance, design performance and maintenance needs
