NWSC plans to expand Gulu Water Project
(The New Vision, Sunday, 01 August, 2008)
By Chris Ocowun
The National
Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) is seeking sh48b for the
Gulu-Tochi water supply and sanitation project. The Gulu manager,
Kenneth Musabe, said the project’s design had been done by Gauff
Consultant, a Kampala firm.
He said the project would involve development of water intake
facilities at Tochi stream, expansion of the water treatment plant and
construction of new water reservoir.
Musabe said it would also include replacement and expansion of a new
distribution network. “It will also involve building a new lagoon and
expanding the sewerage network.”
He said once the project is completed, the increasing demand for water
in Gulu town would be catered for up to the year 2025. Musabe said the
water supply from Oitino dam in Gulu town was not enough.
He said Tochi would have a capacity of about 16,000 cubic meters of water per day.
“We are supplying water to only about 140,000 people in Gulu
Municipality. With the completion of the project, we expect our
coverage to expand to other areas outside Gulu town. |
