KAMPALA – 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 fully served by the Muyenga system, which is overstretched. The project is designed to facilitate the transfer of these areas to the more robust Katosi water supply system, thereby reducing the load on the Muyenga system and improving overall supply reliability.
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, creating significant additional capacity within the Muyenga system.
*Areas to Benefit:*
The improved capacity and operating levels within the Muyenga system are expected to enhance water supply reliability in over 40 suburbs, including:
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 Road, Sekabakintu Road, Gumotoka and Kabuusu.
Other areas include 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.
The Government is working around the clock to complete the project by November 2026
