Project Objectives:    

The project aims to contribute to the reduction of anthropogenic pollution of the Lake Victoria in the vicinity of the Kampala urban areas, to contribute to the improvement of the living and sanitary conditions of the population living within the Nakivubo catchment in Kampala. The program will result: in decreasing pollution and nutrient discharge into the Inner Murchison Bay of Lake Victoria, improving the collection and treatment efficiency of the waterborne sewerage system, improving disposal and treatment of septic tank sludge and will demonstrate ways for a cost effective, hygienic and environmental-friendly collection, haulage and disposal of pit latrine sludge. Funding for the project has been earmarked by KfW (6 Million Euros), European Union water facility 6.995 Million Euros and NWSC/GoU 1.0 Million Euros.

Funding Agency:     KfW, NWSC

Consultant:    Poyry Environment GmbH

Status:

Activities carried out under the project include:

• The consultant has reviewed the 2003 feasibility report for Kampala Network rehabilitation and has produced an in-depth analysis of the water production and supply systems and has proposed immediate and long term interventions

• The draft final feasibility report was presented to NWSC and is being reviewed

    The proposed project components include;

•    Stage 1:
All Works associated with Gaba WTP Complex in order to upgrade its production capacity to 232,000 m3/d, including upgrading and rehabilitation of the Water Treatment Plant, associated transmission mains, primary, secondary and tertiary pipe work, reservoirs and booster stations. Also included in Stage 1 works will be the NRW Reduction Contract plus the SCADA System for Network Monitoring.

•    Stage 2:
All Works associated with the proposed new Katosi WTP with a capacity of 120,000 m3/d including, associated transmission mains, primary, secondary and tertiary pipework, reservoirs and booster stations. Also included in Stage 2 works will be the expansion of the SCADA System for Network Monitoring for this part of the Distribution System.

Project Objectives:

Main objective is to improve the health and socio-economic situation and thereby the productivity of the people of Mukono/Seeta through the provision of safe drinking water and promotion of adequate sanitation.

Project Area:         Mukono-Seeta

Project Scope:

The project is being implemented in three phases. Phase one involved laying of 10Km of 400mm/300mm diameter transmission main and 35km of distribution pipeline. Phase I was completed. Phase two is currently ongoing and involves construction of the Mutungo-Namanve transmission line, four reservoirs and the associated hydraulic connections, a booster station, and a preliminary distribution network. Phase three will concentrate on the intensification of the distribution network and installation/construction of a sewerage system.

Project Cost:            Ushs.14.Billion (Phase 2).

Funding Agency:      National Water and Sewerage Corporation

Consultant:               Kagga and Partners

Contractor:              Vambeco Enterprises Ltd

Status:                 

The projected was completed on 6th February 2009 and it’s under a one year Defects Liability Period which ends in February 2010.

Project Objectives:     To rehabilitate and expand the water supply and sanitation systems in Bushenyi

Project Area:      Bushenyi

Project Cost:      UGX. 2.5BN (Emergency works)

Consultant:         Kagga & Partners

Funding Agency:        NWSC

Status:     

The project is being implemented in two phases:

•    The Emergency Works, aimed at addressing the immediate water needs of Bushenyi Town involving rehabilitation and expansion of the water treatment system, laying of a 3km DN 200mm transmission main, and construction of a new 270 m3 water storage reservoir.

•    The major works will entail construction of a new Water Treatment Plant at Kitagata and Sewerage systems for Bushenyi and Ishaka. It is hoped that, emergency measures will increase the water supply capacity from 640 m3/day based on 16 hours of pumping to about 2,000 m3/day. It is projected that a total of 637 new connections will be made over the contract period increasing coverage to an estimated 4,000 people.

For major works, the supply capacity will increase by 8,750 m3/day based on a 25 year design horizon. The cost of the major works is estimated at UShs.15.5 Bn.

Currently, the emergency works project is nearing completion, and technical handover is scheduled in January 2010 and most of the components have been tested and are already in use.

Project Objectives:    

The project aims at improving to avail quality treated water from the treatment plant, increased production to meet the demand for the next 15 to 20 years. The immediate interventions involved construction to replace / or upgrade old filter units, construction of contact tank at the Water Treatment Plant. Emergency works involves rehabilitation and upgrading the water waterworks.

Collection and safe disposal of wastewater which will involve development of the sewer system and waste water treatment plant.

Project Area:            Arua
