Water supply in the Kisarawe district is served by Dar es salaam Water and Sewerage Authority (DAWASA) and Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Agency ( RUWASA). DAWASA supplies water in the urban area of Kisarawe and RUWASA supplies water in Rural areas. Kisarawe has been a priority district for increased infrastructure investment owning to low water access coverage of about 45% in rural areas compared to urban areas of 89%. Every year the government of Tanzania provides RUWASA with a budget for technical support, spare parts and conducting refresher courses for the community for the water supply scheme. However these is still in adequate water supply due to poor maintenance services. The purpose of this study is to identify the factors that affect the maintenance management system for rural water supply and to develop the maintenance management system for rural area in Kisarawe district. Data collection was done by using questionnaire and were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and Microsoft excel.The Relative importance index was used to identify the factors that affect maintenance management system. The following parameters were identified as key parameters in Kisarawe district with their relative importance indices (RII): age of pipes (RII, 0.93), maintenance budget (RII, 0.84), climate change (RII, 0.84), maintenance schedule (RII, 0.91), availability of spare parts (RII, 0.92) and cultural practices (RII, 0.88) The maintenance management system was developed for improvement of water rural supply of Kisarawe district.
