The Kanungu District local leadership led by the Resident District Commissioner gave National Water and Sewerage Corporation-Kanungu, 8-Kilometers of extensions in Nyakinoni Sub County intended for five (5) villages namely; Nyakihita, Nyakayaga, Mpangango, Kasoro and Kanyambiho.
Each village is to get 2 Public Stand Pipes therefore, a total of 10 Public Stand Pipes will be constructed.
This gesture is bound to fuel NWSC’s agenda to achieve universal access to water supply by all citizens by 2040 through the “Service Coverage Acceleration Project (SCAP100)”. The project aims at ensuring universal and equitable access to safe water supply by the population in all villages under NWSC jurisdiction. The project that was launched in the FY 2017/18, aims at having all villages under NWSC jurisdiction with full access to safe piped water supply, with at least 2 public taps (PSPs) per village.
The RDC admired the good working relationship between the local leadership and NWSC to which he pledged his undying support.
In attendance to commemorate the milestone were the; NWSC-Kanungu-Area Staff, District leadership, Sub-County leadership and other Local Leaders.
