As part of her commitment towards the transformation of Uganda’s economy, National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC), has partnered with EACOP to support their ongoing Oil Pipeline development Project, through the provision of adequate and reliable water supply services for their facilities and activities.

 

The EACOP Project, which will see the new Oil Pipeline constructed from Kabale in Hoima, through Mubende, Sembabule, Mutukula, and then Tanzania, will have several Pumping Stations and Main Camps and Pipe Yards. 

 

To facilitate their operations, NWSC has been requested to extend reliable water supply services to these stations.

 

As such, NWSC has held a meeting with a Technical Team from EACOP to discuss the modalities of structuring the intervention. Representing EACOP in the meeting was; Emmanuel Blarez (Project Director), Hedi Dendani (Manager Regulatory Compliance), and Lawrence Ssempagi (Regulatory Compliance Uganda Head). On the NWSC side the meeting was attended by; Eng. Alex Gisagara (Senior Director Engineering Services – representing the Managing Director), Eng. Denis Taremwa (Senior Manager IP&D), Alex Natwijuka (Area Manager Sembabule), and Cream Treasure (Senior PR Central Region).

 

From the meeting, EACOP confirmed that their Camp activities will be commencing in July 2022, by which time, water should have been connected to their sites in Mubende, Sembabule and Kyotera. At the same time, the water supply requirements for each of the sites was elaborated as 120,000litres per day for Pump Station 2 in Sembabule, 200,000 litres per day for Camp 2 in Mubende, 200,000 litres per day for Camp 3 in Sembabule and 200,000 litres per day for Camp 4 in Kyotera.
