Before
The experiment will involve sending monthly information to households for three months in short rain seasons when the temperature is high (November, December, January, and February) and in dry seasons (August, September, and October). Wards from Dar es Salaam will be randomly assigned into treatments and control groups. We will have one treatment and one control group. In the treatment group, households will receive information regarding their own water consumption for that month in a comparison with the median average neighborhood water consumption in the ward that the household is leaving. In addition, information will be given showing how they should save water like turning off taps while brushing teeth, soaping during the bath, and handwashing, etc. The control group will only continue to receive their normal monthly water bills without extra information.

After
The experiment will involve sending monthly information to households for four months in short rain seasons when the temperature is high (November, December, January, and February) and in dry seasons (August, September, and October). Wards from Dar es Salaam will be randomly assigned into treatments and control groups. We will have two treatment and one control group. In the first treatment group, households will receive information regarding their own water consumption for that month in a comparison with the median average neighborhood water consumption in the ward that the household is living. In the second treatment, information will be given showing how they should save water like turning off taps while brushing teeth, soaping during the bath, and handwashing, inserting a water meter valve,
direct water into the storage tank/well before using, etc. The control group will only continue to receive their normal monthly water bills without extra information.
