NWSC Deputy MD Inspects Package 2B Works as More Areas Set to Benefit Kira-Nsasa-Namugongo National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) Deputy Managing Director for Technical Services, Eng. Johnson Amayo, has inspected ongoing works under the Rehabilitation, Restructuring, Rezoning and Extension of the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area (GKMA) Water Supply Network Project (Package 2B). During his visit to project sites in the Kira–Namugongo–Nsasa corridor, Eng. Amayo tasked the contractor to ensure that all workspaces are properly reinstated to their original state once construction is complete. The project’s main objective is to extend and improve the distribution pipeline network in Kampala, Wakiso, Mukono and Buikwe districts so that water supply coverage can meet demand through the year 2040. It specifically bridges the gap between the high production capacity of the Katosi Water Treatment Plant (160 million litres per day) and rising demand in North and West Kampala and surrounding areas. Although Katosi currently operates at approximately 52 percent of capacity because of historical distribution bottlenecks, Package 2B is designed to eliminate those constraints and deliver more reliable water to rapidly growing neighbourhoods. Upon completion, the project is expected to improve water supply to the following areas: Wakiso Bugembegembe, Kayunga, Wakiso Town, Kasengeje, Gombe, Mende, Nkoowe, Kasa Ngombe, Sala, Sanda Kavumba, Mpunga, Wakiso Town Council, Namasanga, Buyera, Muyomba, Kikokiro, Kapeke, Kiwazi, Kisimbiri, Kabowa, Najjemba, Nakasuga, Namusera, Kyoga, Banda.
