The spreadsheet developed for this study was used to estimate the costs of different water and sanitation technologies in the seven areas falling under the responsibility of Water Service Boards in Kenya. The spreadsheet is set up to include hardware costs (including rehabilitation and replacement), operation and maintenance, direct support costs such as design and support, community mobilisation and hygiene promotion. Rehabilitation costs include both depreciation and renovation (due to backlog in maintenance).

|Data can be analysed using per capita and per cubic metre costs. The various technologies costs are calculated according to a standard bill of quantities and compares these costs with the actual cost of projects that have been implemented or planned in Kenya over the previous five to ten years.
