This paper presents the action research findings of a pilot related to safe drinking water provision in Ghana. In this pilot – in collaboration with project Maji – a small modular piped network of water kiosks was constructed. The hardware was optimized based on multiple years of field data and was fitted with a novel mechanical prepaid device called the TokenTap. This paper describes the rationale behind the design and approach, the field findings and a financial comparison of the system with a single water kiosk approach.
