National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) MD Dr. Eng Silver Mugisha has unveiled plans for construction of new water treatment plants in Entebbe and Kaazi.
During a wide-ranging interview with NBS’s Simon Kaggwa Njala, Mugisha revealed that the new plant will address the water supply gaps along Nakawuka road, Entebbe road and the surrounding areas.
The construction of a new water treatment plant on the shores of Lake Victoria is set to significantly improve water supply in the Entebbe area, addressing the current deficit and extending services to previously unserved regions such as Nakawuka and Kasanje. The facility is expected to produce approximately 20,000 cubic meters of water per day, greatly enhancing the local water network.
Recently a team of engineers from the National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) Head Office, led by the Deputy Managing Director-Technical Services, Eng. Johnson Amayo, on May 23rd, 2024 conducted a thorough site exploration along the Lake Victoria shoreline. The team included; Eng. Denis Taremwa, Eng. Joe Kamanyi, Eng. Anthony Ojok, Eng.
