UDDTs and greywater treatment at Secondary School, Nakuru, Kenya Crater View Secondary School. Case study of SuSanA Muchiri, E., Raude, J., Mutua, B. (2010)
This SuSanA case study compiles experiences from a ROSA sanitation pilot project implemented in a secondary school in Nakuru, Kenya. Single vault urine diversion toilets, a faeces drying shed and greywater treatment were implemented in this project. The project serves about 200 students.
The toilet block has a separate girls and boys section with waterless urinals. The female urinals are a quite unique installation in Kenya. Urine is collected in a large masonry underground tank and the faecal material fully dried in a roofed shed. The greywater is treated in a constructed wetland with vertifer grass. The treated greywater, urine and dried faeces are supposed to be used for raising trees at a small school farm. The facilities were monitored and evaluated after about 3 years of operation showing some challenges with the reuse of faecal material after drying. A follow up saniation program called CLARA will address the challenges witnessed in this peri-urban area.
