In 2008, Agyemanti lacked sufficient water quality and quantity. Their water source was able to provide no more than 300 people with the WHO minimum of 15 liters per day but 2,000 people were using this source. The spring water in the village had sanitation issues as well, causing high levels of diarrhea, trachoma, guinea worm, skin disease, and other preventable water borne illnesses.
