Conclusion
Mzuzu City is largest urban center in the Northern Region of Malawi
and third largest after Lilongwe and Blantyre(MCC,2016)
Even in planned settlements, most construction works do not have or have sanitary facilities that are in
poor state
Drainage systems designed to cope with most extreme conditions are absent.
The city relies on on-site sanitation facilities like septic tanks (MCC, 2016). The efficiency and
effectiveness of septic systems partly rely on the soils in in the reach field to treat and absorb
wastewaters safely but these are rarely considered in the construction environment.
Sanitary facilities in the construction environment are very poor and unsustainable.
Temporary toilets without cover, no proper housing, unsustainable timber substructure that can collapse
at any time.
Poor sanitation leading to the spread of diseases like diarrhea, cholera, etc
