National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) has announced that on Tuesday November 5, 2019, it will divert traffic along Namugongo and Nalya-Namugongo roads in an attempt to construct the Katosi-Kampala Drinking Water Transmission.
“National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC), on behalf of The Government of the Republic of Uganda (GoU), is currently constructing The Katosi-Kampala Drinking Water Transmission Mains to supply drinking water to the increasing population of the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area,” says NWSC in a statement issued on Monday.
“NWSC has accordingly contracted Sogea Satom to implement the project which involves excavation and laying of water pipes across Namugongo Road at Kyaliwajjala Junction.”
