According to national water, the planned water shutdown is caused by a planned power showdown at the Ggaba Umeme power substation that supplies power to their facilities that distributes water to the entire Kampala.
Through their social media, they made the annoucement;
“The Management of National Water and Sewerage Corporation wishes to inform its valued customers and general public that there will be interruptions in water supply tomorrow, Tuesday, November, 16 from 10am to 3pm,” NWSC said in a statement. Subsequently, water supply to the entire Kampala water supply service area will be affected.”
“Customers are therefore advised to store water and use it sparingly as it takes time for the system to stabilize after a total plant shutdown.”
NWSC says the works on the power substation are aimed at improving performance.
