Geita RC orders contractors to timely complete 3.6bn/- water projects

GEITA: GEITA Regional Commissioner, Martine Shigela, has urged contractors who signed contracts for the construction of four water projects valued at 3.6bn/- in Chato, Geita, and Mbogwe districts to ensure timely implementation.

She emphasized that if the projects are completed on time, residents will begin to benefit from them, thereby addressing the problem of lack of clean and safe water.

These four water projects are being implemented in 12 villages and are expected to benefit approximately 27,000 people.

Additionally, the Manager of the Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Agency (RUWASA) in Geita, Engineer Jabiri Kayilla, said the projects are expected to increase rural water access by 4 percent. Currently, the water access situation in rural areas stands at over 70 percent, and through these projects, water access is anticipated to improve further.
