Most people in the villages in Africa get water from the valleys, streams, rivers, wells, boreholes , rain etc. which are clean and fresh sources of water how ever some are still contaminated by humans and animals but most of them are well protected. water from these sources have a different taste compared to those that are taped into the compounds and houses, they always have a good fresh taste. people from the surrounding communities also do not pay money to get water from this source but in some communities a little bit of money is always asked from them which is usually less than a dollar for maintenance services like buying new pipes, fixing broken pipes and other repairs. when it comes to cleaning around the water source, it is either the entire community joins hands to clean or one or 2 people are assigned to do the cleaning and are later on paid by the community, sometimes they do it voluntarily.
in my community, we have such kinds of water sources and we fetch clean water from there however, we still have tapped water in our compounds in the African communities or even boreholes which give us clean water.
