Posted by: Kyeyune Andrew Jonathan in Uganda news March 4, 2022

The National Water and Sewage Corporation (NWSC) Kampala Water management has announced a water supply close off.

Through a statement, the NWSC revealed that water supply at Ggaba 3 water treatment plant has been closed off to handle an emergency fault.

According to the Thursday statement, the most affected areas include Nakasero, City Center, Kololo areas along Portbell road up to Bugolobi. Other areas are Mukwano, 5th and 6th street, Kanyanya, Nabweru, Kawempe Mbogo and the surrounding areas.

In addition, the statement also indicated that this will affect Muyenga service area, Acacia Avenue, Wandegeya, Namirembe, Mengo, Makerere, Kawempe, among other areas.

A team of specialized engineers is apparently on the ground working vehemently to complete works. They will restore water supply in the shortest time possible.

NWSC indicated that the work will last about 18hrs. They, therefore, advise customers to store enough water and use it sparingly.
