====Biologically-enhanced method====

A prototype built in Uganda (circa 1997) cost about £235 of which £200 was the cost of the tank (which could be made more cheaply). The principal recurrent cost would be the employment of a caretaker. Even if a donor is prepared to pay for the filter itself, it may be that the community have to pay the caretaker’s wages. This is another example of where user motivation is important. Perhaps the caretaker could have a combined role for the upkeep of both the handpump and the filter. Such an arrangement would depend on how water supply is organised at a given location. The caretaker is likely to need additional, occasional support in the event of more serious problems with the operation and maintenance of the system.
