DODOMA: THE Bunda Water Supply and Sanitation Authority (BUWSSA) has successfully managed to increase water coverage to area citizens by an impressive 85 per cent within four years of President Samia Suluhu Hassan in office.
This significant achievement is due to budgetary allocations provided by the sixth phase government, that have facilitated the implementation of robust water projects in Bunda, Mara Region.
(BUWSSA) Executive Director, Esther Gilyoma, told journalists in Dodoma that water coverage in Bunda District had reached an impressive 85 per cent, adding that the coverage can even surpass 2025 95 per cent target set by the government.
According to her, the CCM Manifesto 2020-2025 sets a target of 95 per cent of water coverage in urban areas by the end of 2025.
However, she noted, with the ongoing projects in Bunda District, by end of this year, her institution will have gone up by more than the set target.
