      description => protected'Small towns lag behind cities in drinking water and sanitation access global
         ly. Closing this gap requires developing service models for areas with both 
         urban and rural characteristics. This study assessed Bushenyi-Ishaka, a muni
         cipality in Uganda situated at the rural-urban transition, with a focus on s
         ervice ladder indictors. Data sources included household interviews (<em>n</
         em> = 500) and water quality samples from sources and storage containers
         . Households in more urban (as compared to rural) cells were more likely to 
         use improved water sources (including piped water on-premises), make regular
          payments for water, rely on shared sanitation facilities, and make use of m
         anual sludge emptying services. Most households (72%) used an unlined pit la
         trine not intended for emptying and reuse. These findings suggest that small
          town servicing models should prioritize non-sewered sanitation management, 
         including incentives for safe excreta containment and disposal opportunities
         . This study also highlights a need for integrated services models to expand
          rural-urban water and sanitation coverage.' (1107 chars)

      description => protected'Risk assessment for drinking water systems combines sanitary inspections (SI
         ) and water quality testing and is critical for effectively managing the saf
         ety of these systems. SI forms consist of question sets relating to the pres
         ence of potential sources and pathways of contamination specific to differen
         t types of water points, piped distribution systems, and household collectio
         n and storage practices. As part of the revision to the Guidelines for Drink
         ing-water Quality (GDWQ), the World Health Organization (WHO) is updating th
         e suite of SI forms to reflect and include the most recent technical and sci
         entific information available. This paper reports the results from a field p
         ilot of a selection of published and revised SI forms and water quality test
         ing in the municipality of Bushenyi-Ishaka, Uganda. We collected data from 4
         5 springs, 61 taps from piped distribution systems, and 129 household storag
         e containers filled with water from those springs and taps. The median total
          risk scores, according to the revised forms, for spring, tap, and household
          practices were 36, 53, and 33%, respectively, with higher percentages indic
         ating greater risk. The median<em> Escherichia coli </em>concentrations of s
         pring, tap, and household storage systems were 17, &lt;1, and 7 CFU/100 mL, 
         respectively. We found that increased questioning in the revised SI forms do
          not necessarily translate to a higher total risk. There is potential for mi
         sinterpretation of terminology in the revised SI forms and occasional redund
         ancy of concepts. For the revised SI form for springs, we suggest specific t
         ext changes to reduce potential bias. We recommend that users of SI forms re
         ceive training in their use and be familiar with their locale. Furthermore, 
         the revised SI forms may need to be adapted in accordance with the local con
