The National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) has unveiled a plan for efficient and effective service for the Kampala Metropolitan, areas of Kampala, Wakiso and Mukono.

According to Mahmood Lutaaya, the General Manager of Kampala Water at the NWSC, plans are underway to install over 2600 water ATMs in the Kampala Metropolitan informal settlements.

Lutaya unveiled the plans while appearing on UBC TV on Thursday morning to discuss service delivery plans for the people of Kampala.

He said that ATMs shall use smart tokens, selling a jerrycan at Shs 25.

According to Lutaaya, the initiative is in a bid to increase access to safe and clean water in the informal settlements.

Lutaaya added that the Government of Uganda through NWSC is installing community prepaid meters for the informal communities in Kampala.

In 2021, NWSC revealed that the Corporation, with help of French Development Agency and other partners, were racing to meet and exceed the Kampala metropolitan maximum water demand of 300 million liters per day.
