The document outlines a feasibility study for a proposed water supply system for Alara Catholic Church, aimed at improving access to safe water for local residents and reducing the distance traveled for water collection. Two options were considered, with Option 2 involving the equipping of a borehole at the church being preferred, estimated to cost KES 7,692,570.06, pending confirmatory tests for water quality and quantity. The project targets a population of 1,500, with future demand projections indicating a need for sustainable water sources to support the community's growth.
