Maintenance des ouvrages et équipements

Preserving the continuity and performance of the drinking water service

Maintenance of facilities and equipment is an essential mission in operating the rural public drinking water service.

It aims to guarantee the proper functioning, durability and safety of the infrastructure needed to produce, transmit, store and distribute drinking water to the populations served.

Through this mission, OMILAYE works to preserve the water assets entrusted to it, limit service interruptions, improve system performance and ensure users have regular access to quality drinking water.

Maintenance in the service of continuity

Continuity of service depends largely on the ability to anticipate, detect and correct malfunctions that could affect facilities and equipment.

OMILAYE has put in place a technical organisation to monitor installations, identify anomalies, plan interventions and handle incidents reported in the field.

This approach reduces the risk of breakdowns, limits prolonged interruptions and strengthens the reliability of the service in the rural localities served.

Facilities and equipment monitored with rigour

The infrastructure covered by maintenance includes boreholes, pumping stations, electromechanical equipment, treatment systems, reservoirs, pipework, connections, service points, meters and other equipment involved in running the service.

Every component of the system plays a decisive role in the drinking water chain. Keeping it in good working order contributes directly to water availability, service quality and user satisfaction.

OMILAYE therefore pays particular attention to monitoring facilities regularly, checking critical equipment and implementing any necessary corrective action.

Preventive and corrective maintenance

Maintenance is organised around two complementary approaches.

Preventive maintenance anticipates failures through regular checks, technical inspections, servicing operations and monitoring of equipment condition.

Corrective maintenance is triggered when a breakdown, leak, failure or anomaly is found. It aims to restore normal service as quickly as possible, mobilising the relevant teams according to the nature of the intervention.

This combination of prevention and responsiveness helps strengthen the operational performance of the drinking water systems.

Technical teams mobilised in the field

Maintaining facilities and equipment draws daily on technical and operational teams committed to serving rural populations.

Electromechanical technicians, network technicians, zone managers, operations technicians, standpipe attendants and other staff work to monitor installations, carry out repairs, support servicing operations and feed back the information needed to run the service well.

Their presence in the field allows OMILAYE to respond faster, maintain precise knowledge of its facilities and address technical needs appropriately.

A contribution to the sustainability of the public service

Maintenance is not just about repairing equipment. It helps preserve water assets, get the most out of the investments made and sustain the public drinking water service over time.

By servicing facilities regularly, OMILAYE helps extend the life of infrastructure, secure the operation of the systems and progressively improve the quality of service provided to users.

This mission sits squarely within the national ambition of universal, sustainable and equitable access to drinking water in rural areas.
