NWSC CONTINUES TO PUSH FOR GULU’S WATER SECURITY

The National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) is stepping up efforts to secure Gulu City’s water future through a full-scale source protection initiative under the Integrated Water Management and Development Project (IWMDP). The program aims to enhance the quality and quantity of water while promoting sustainable livelihoods for the surrounding communities.

From July 29th to 30th, 2025, NWSC convened key stakeholders for a two-day progress review, attended by Gulu City leaders, technical officers, Local Council I chairpersons from project-affected areas, NWSC officials, contractors, and consultants.

Participants later toured critical project sites, including civil works along the Oyitino Stream, catchment restoration and tree planting areas, alternative livelihood programme sites, and the NWSC Water Treatment Plant, which offered stakeholders firsthand insight into ongoing interventions and the treatment processes that ensure safe water for the city.

The event featured a detailed review meeting where contractors presented progress reports and outlined next steps. NWSC Gulu Area Manager, Fred Businge, kicked this off with an acknowledgement of the milestones achieved so far but urged contractors to meet agreed timelines. He also stressed the importance of occupational health and safety compliance, noting it as both a fundamental requirement and a basis of sustainable project delivery.

The initiative notably covers protection of Oyitino Dams I and II, six motorised boreholes within the city, and the River Nile abstraction point at Nora Village in Oyam District. Once complete, it is expected to reinforce Gulu City’s water security while delivering long-term environmental and socio-economic benefits.
