the lagoons, appropriate disposal of scum and stabilization. Ensure that the pond series have adequate water flow and aeration to reduce the potential of odour formation. The (WWTP) perimeter should be vegetated with trees and plants of varying heights thereby forming windbreaker and reduce dispersion of odour. Repair the roofs of the sludge drying beds to ensure quick drying of sludge and appropriate disposal to reduce odour emanating from wet sludge. Awareness rising among community members not to dump solids in manholes. Regular cleaning of grit chambers and sewer lines to remove grease, grit, and other debris that may lead to sewer backups. Development of an inventory of system components, with information including age, construction materials, and drainage areas served elevations. Design manhole covers to withstand anticipated loads and ensure that the covers can be readily replaced if broken to minimize entry of garbage and silt into the system. Ensure sufficient hydraulic capacity to accommodate peak flows and adequate slope in gravity mains to prevent build-up of solids and hydrogen sulphide generation. Timely maintenance of sewer conveyance, distribution system. Monitor water quality, both in the river and in the conveyance system. Repair the roofs of the sludge drying beds to ensure quick drying of sludge and appropriate disposal to reduce odour emanating from wet sludge. Provide workers with education and awareness on safe management, handling and application of the sludge cake. This will include appreciation of the materials for soil conditioning to surmount the cultural barrier. • The quality and safety of the sludge cake should be ensured on a collaborative basis with (public health, agriculture, water and soil experts) before it is released to the users. • Ensure efficiency of the sludge digestion and effective sludge drying.
