ABSTRACT

The suitability and sustainability of any human settlement for economic development is strongly linked to the level of serviceability and livability. Settlement serviceability and livability is infrastructure-based and water services function, as a basic amenity. This is due to the nature of the benefits of access to water 1'Yhich has multiplier effects. It is going critical to the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals. This significance notwithstanding, about 25% of the world's people have no access to safe drinking water. In Nigeria a national per ·capita of 21 litres falls far short of minimum survival quantity of rVHO put at 45/litres per capita. In Kogi state households with access to piped water is only 8.5% presenting a debilitating water situation.
