WATER SITUATION IN NYAHUKA AND KISUBBA SUB-COUNTY ALARMING




On 6th September 2012 good hope foundation for rural Development  under the EU project conducted a meeting on the findings of service delivery an activity that was conducted by community monitor in july 2012 in the areas of water and health  in the four sub-counties of Nyahuka T.C , Kisubba , Sindira and Karusandara  respectively . In Nyahuka town council out of 49 water points, 09 are functional and in kisubba out of 44 water points are not functional 35 are functional. Indeed this was the reason for water borne related out breaks like cholera, 80% of the water facilities are not owned by the community to an extent that there is no water users fees and care takers. Any breakdown it’s the district water department that comes in for repairers. Information from the community development officers of these sub-counties conformed that some of the water users committees are not trained due to constrained resources hence not knowing their roles. There is need for immediate attention.
In the meeting the town clerk Nyahuka T.C Ms Katusime Harriet thanked RWECO- and Good Hope for their work on ground and continued support
