Kagera Water Project Nearing Finish Despite Road Hurdles

The water project in Kagera moves closer to completion, NWSC leader Dr. Silver Mugisha announced yesterday. During his March 17 visit to Kikagate, he asked everyone to pull together as patriots. The construction team aims to finish everything by June. Dr. Mugisha talked about several roadblocks they faced recently.

Approvals for laying pipes through Katete Road caused delays for workers. A small section in Isingiro also fell behind schedule. Despite these issues, Dr. Mugisha feels positive about finishing on time. He explained how better water access will improve daily life for local families.

The French Development Agency funded this project with 68 million euros. Features include water treatment facilities and farm irrigation systems. Crews laid down 60km of pipes throughout the area. All electrical parts and machines passed their tests.

The pumps work perfectly after recent checks by staff members. Workers have already finished 85% of the treatment plant. Dr. Mugisha asked his team to solve any remaining problems quickly. He stressed quality work and talking with all the people involved in the project.

NWSC projects director Eng. Paddy Twesigye mentioned benefits for both rural and city areas. Staff currently check equipment and water flow levels daily. Once finished, people in Mbarara City and Isingiro will have much better water service. The project should wrap up by June 2025 as planned.
