Frustration may suit the description of what the residents of Parambo faced as one of life’s essential commodities; water, was lacking in the community. Lack of clean drinking water is one of the leading problems affecting the people in the community with most of the drinking water coming from untreated water sources like swamps, shallow wells and boreholes.
The residents of this Town Council in Nebbi district have therefore been trekking long distances in search of water.
Thankfully, this whole ordeal is in the past, as the provision of safe drinking water in Parombo has been bolstered by National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) after it was tasked to establish a piped water system in Parombo Town council and surrounding villages.
With the completion of the 3 billion shillings Parombo Water Supply Project, NWSC gets to make a life changing difference to over 28,000 people in the community.
The water station at Parombo works by pumping raw water from the existing two boreholes into the 162 cubic meter reservoir at Acana Hill through the 4.6km transmission mains and 19.3km distribution pipe network from Acana Hill to Parombo Town Council.
Walking long distances in search of clean water is fast becoming a thing of the past because clean water is now at the door steps of the residents.
NWSC remains committed and has a long standing and established focus on providing clean water and sanitation services for all.
