The National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) continues to lead the way in ensuring exceptional water quality testing, maintaining some of the country’s most advanced laboratories and rigorous standards to ensure safe, clean water for every household.
With over 52 years of expertise, NWSC has built a reputation for reliability and precision, backed by modern facilities, cutting-edge technology, and a highly skilled team. From testing raw water at the source to monitoring treated water flowing into homes, the Corporation follows a meticulous process designed to meet, and often exceed, national quality standards.
“Every drop matters. That’s why we test continuously, ensuring our water is safe not only for drinking, but for every critical use, from hospitals to industries,” said the Director Water Quality Management Directorate, Dr. Irene Nansubuga.
The Corporation’s Central Laboratory, in Bugolobi is its flagship facility, providing comprehensive testing services both internally and to over 1,000 external clients, including hydropower stations, manufacturers, consultants, researchers, and students. Clients rely on NWSC not only for one-off testing but also for ongoing quality monitoring through monthly, quarterly, or annual contracts. Each sample undergoes strict handling protocols from collection through analysis, with standardized procedures guaranteeing accuracy and accountability. Test data is securely managed through the Water Quality Information Management System (WQIMS), a digital platform that ensures seamless record-keeping and easy access for clients.
Beyond technical excellence, NWSC prioritizes customer care. A dedicated support team at the Central Lab guides clients through every step, and that way nurture strong, lasting partnerships. Samples are also preserved for up to two weeks to accommodate any client requests for retesting or further inquiry.
“Our clients trust us because we deliver. We’re committed to providing timely, accurate results, backed by integrity and professionalism,” Dr. Nsubuga added.
