The key components included construction of new Water Treatment Plant at Katosi (160,000 m3 per day), a 54 Km Water Transmission Main from Nsuba to Sonde Hill, a reservoir at Ssonde Hill, a pump station at Naguru, and a Booster Station at Namugongo.



The Project entailed construction of Nalukolongo Faecal Sludge System (400m3/day), 64 Public Toilets (240 stances), 55 Km of pipe network densification and construction of communal standpipes (386 pre-paid meters).



The Project was aimed at improving living conditions in Gulu. The project works entailed construction of an intake (30,000 m3/day), a water treatment plant (10,000 m3/day) and a storage reservoir with capacity of 5,000m3.

The Project aimed at improving access to water supply and sanitation services in Gulu City and the surrounding areas. The works entailed installation of a DN 500 ductile iron transmission pipeline of length 70.5 km from Karuma to Gulu.

The Project was aimed at improving urban hygiene and sanitation within Kampala Metropolitan Area as well as protecting the quality of water in the inner Murchison Bay of Lake Victoria. The works broadly entailed construction of a Waste Water Treatment Plant with capacity of (45,000 m3/day) and all the associated fittings and electro-mechanicals.



The Project aimed at improving wastewater management at Kiruddu Referral Hospital by treating 150,000 Litres of wastewater on a daily basis. The Key Project component was construction of a 150 m3/day Wastewater Treatment Plant.

The Project is aimed at improving water supply water to EACOP Facilities. This entailed construction of 03 Pumping Stations in Sembabule (Combined discharge 520m3/day), 01 pumping station in Kakuuto Town – Kyotera (200m3/day) and 02 in Mubende, laying of 14 Km of pipeline in Sembabule, 18.7 Km in Kakuuto and 12.5 Km in Mubende, and construction of a new 100m3 steel reservoir in Kakuuto, and a 100m3 reservoir in Mubende.  



Internally Funded Projects including Market Finance: These are the water supply infrastructure projects mainly implemented using internal resources (surplus) and market finance.

The project entailed construction of a new water treatment plant of 3,000 m3/day at Kapenguria to argument the existing supply (1,000m3/day), laying of a 4 km bulk water transfer main from the Plant to the Kaptebum Reservoir and rehabilitation of the Chebukat Water Treatment Plant and Cheseber Intake. 

The Project was aimed at improving water quality and increasing water production by 2,500m3/day. This entailed installation of additional water production units; a Flocculator, Coagulator, Clarifier and Filter. 

The project was aimed at increasing water production from 300m3/day to 3000m3/day, and rehabilitation of the water distribution network. This entailed construction of a new intake and water treatment plant and upgrading the distribution network.

The project was aimed at improving water supply reliability in Hoima town and the surrounding areas through increasing water production by 3,000m3/day. This entailed re-drilling four (4) of the production wells (boreholes) to replace collapsed casings and increase their yields, rehabilitation of the existing network and construction of new reservoirs.

The project was aimed at improving water supply reliability in Rushere, Lyantonde and the surrounding areas including Nshara Industrial Park through provision of 5,000m3/day water. It entailed construction of an intake of capacity 5000m3/day, an offshore pipeline of DN 300mm, 100m into Lake Kakyera, a raw water pumping main of DN 300mm, for a length of about 1Km, a water treatment plant of capacity 5000m3/day, a DN 300mm treating water pumping main of length 12 Km, a 1,500 m3 RC reservoir and 10km distribution pipe main of DN 300mm.

The Project aimed at addressing the current water supply challenges for the Kapeeka industrial park and the neighboring communities. This entailed upgrading of the intake along the River Mayanja and water treatment plant from 2500m3/day to 5,000m3/day, laying of 3 Km of Transmission mains, construction of new water storage reservoir (600m3) and development of ground water system of capacity of 1,000m3/day.

The project was aimed at upgrading the daily water production capacity of Masese water treatment plant from 24,000m3 to 32,000m3. It entailed filter rehabilitation, installation of higher capacity pumps and laying a parallel transmission main from the treatment plant to Rubaga reservoir.

The project was aimed at improving water supply services in Iganga, Mayuge, Jinja and Njeru. It entailed installation of a new 4 Km transmission mains from the Water Treatment Plant to Rubaga Hill Reservoir, installation of four higher capacity high lift pumps and a 1,000 KVA transformer, overhaul of 6 Filters, drilling of seven new production boreholes in Iganga, Mayuge, Jinja and Njeru, and construction of two new 100m3 Steel Tanks in Jinja and Njeru.

The project aimed at improving water supply in the 17 villages around the Virunga ranges, to deter the locals from entering the Mgahinga National Park; to compete with the animals for water. It entailed construction of new pumping stations and transmission lines at Bukara, Buzeyi and Gishondori, and rehabilitation of existing reservoirs

The project aimed at improving water supply services in Kisoro Town and the surrounding Areas. It entailed upgrading of the Water Treatment Plant from 3,120 to 5,760 m3/day and laying of a pumping main to supply Bunanagana Town Council, Muramba and Nyarusinza. 

The Project aimed at addressing the water supply challenges in Parombo Town. 

It entailed developing two production wells, construction of a 162m3 water storage tank on Acana hill and a 60m3 capacity sump, and laying of 4.3 Km of transmission mains and 10.3 Km of distribution mains.
