Following several outcries from the leaders and the general public to the National Water and Sewerage Corporation to save the water-stressed Jokello, the NWSC Kapeeka team together with the HQ team on 28th July 2022, visited Jokello to profile it for a water extension.

Therefore, the Area plans to ensure that the water benefits the community through extensions to the water-stressed areas and also guarantee a return on investment by increasing the number of connections and billing.
