The Government of Uganda through the National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC), is implementing the Katosi–Mutungo Water Supply Improvement Project, aimed at improving water supply reliability within the Mutungo service areas, which are currently dependent on the Muyenga supply system.
Currently, the Mutungo service areas are served by the Muyenga system. The project is designed to facilitate the transfer of these service areas to the Katosi water supply system, thereby reducing the load on the Muyenga system and improving overall supply reliability within its service areas.
The project involves the laying of approximately 3.8 km of DN600 DI pipeline from Seeta to Namanve. Upon completion, approximately 708 m³/hr of demand will be transferred from the Muyenga system to the Katosi system, thereby creating additional capacity within the Muyenga system.
The improved capacity and operating levels within the Muyenga system are expected to enhance water supply reliability in the following areas:
Rubaga, Lungujja, parts of Wakaliga Road, Busega, Natete, Ndebba, Mutundwe, Nalukolongo, Makindye, Salaama Road, Busabala, Mutesa I Road, Sentema Road, Rusaze, Mackay Road, Mbubi Road, Kamanya, Kitinzi, Kibumbiro, Albert Cook, Sekabakintu Road, Gumotoka and Kabuusu.
Bulenga, Buloba, Bulaga, Wotansimbi, Bukasa, Buyala, Kyebando, Gganda-Nasere, Kamu-Kamu, Bujjuko, Kawoko, Gombe-Kitasa, Naluvule, parts of Ssenge, Kabulengwa, Kireka-Biira, Nakabugo, Kigoma and Kayunga.
Overall, the project will contribute to improved water supply reliability, increased system capacity and greater supply flexibility between the Katosi and Ggaba systems, particularly benefiting customers in the above-mentioned areas.
The Government is working around the clock to complete the project by November 2026.
