The National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) is making remarkable progress on the KW-LVWATSAN Water Supply Network Project (Package 2B), a transformative initiative aimed at strengthening water distribution across the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area. The project is steadily taking shape and is expected to significantly improve access to safe and reliable water for thousands of residents.
As implementation gathers momentum, senior officials continue to closely monitor progress to ensure timely delivery of key project components. Recently, the Senior Director for Planning, Performance and Capital Development, Eng. Paddy Twesigye, accompanied by Project Manager Eng. Herbert Mujuni and other technical staff, conducted a comprehensive inspection of ongoing works and participated in the project’s 16th progress review meeting.
One of the most visible achievements so far is the advancement of pipeline installation works. Out of the planned 68.5 kilometres, 11 kilometres have already been completed, reflecting steady progress on the ground. Construction crews remain actively deployed along strategic corridors including Kira–Kasangati, Lugoba–Nansana, and Kabulengwa–Wakiso, where work continues at an encouraging pace.
Construction activities at the Kabulengwa Booster Station have also reached an important stage. The facility’s roof slab has been successfully cast and is now undergoing curing, bringing the station closer to operational readiness and marking another significant milestone for the project team.
Meanwhile, substantial progress is being registered at the Kanyanya Reservoir site. Engineers and contractors are carrying out drainage installations, constructing inlet valve chambers, and undertaking steel reinforcement works for the ground beam structures, all of which are critical to the reservoir’s long-term functionality.
The project represents a major investment in the future of water service delivery within Wakiso District and surrounding urban centres. Once completed, the upgraded network will enhance supply reliability, reduce service interruptions, and support the growing population and economic activities within the metropolitan region.
While the entire project remains on track for completion in July 2027, efforts are underway to fast-track specific sections of the network. This strategic approach is intended to bring relief to communities facing increasing demand for water services and to ensure that some benefits are realized ahead of the project’s final completion date.
According to Project Manager Eng. Herbert Mujuni, residents in Buwate, Kasangati, Gayaza, and neighboring areas could begin receiving water as early as January 2027 as a result of accelerated works on the pipeline serving those communities. Through this ambitious undertaking, the Government of Uganda and NWSC continue to demonstrate their commitment to expanding access to clean, safe, and dependable water services for all.
