THE National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) has earmarked sh11b towards the completion of the second phase of the Seeta-Mukono water project.
The project was a 2001 presidential pledge.
The NWSC managing director, Dr. William Muhaire, said work on the phase would last 10 months.
“This is the first time NWSC is solely funding such a big project,†he noted during the ground-breaking ceremony at Nabutti Hill on Monday.
The work will entail construction of two reservoirs at Tucker Hill and Gulama in Mukono and Seeta and a booster stationed at Namanve.
Two other low level reservoirs will be constructed in each of the two towns.
In a speech read by water state minister Jennifer Namuyangu, the water and environment minister, Maria Mutagamba, re-affirmed the Government’s commitment towards the provision of safe water to Ugandans.
“NWSC can adequately supply enough water after the commissioning of Ggaba III water treatment project in May.â€
Mukono town council chairman Johnson Muyanja hailed NWSC for funding the project.
