Makang\u2019wa Village residents in Chamwino have lived without proper water services for over 50 years, but their situation will soon change. Tanzania has launched a solar powered water supply project costing US $350m that will drastically improve residents’ access to water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implemented by the Dodoma Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Authority (Duwasa)<\/a>, the project will benefit over 7,000 households in Makang\u2019wa Village and neighbouring villages in Chamwino. Duwasa Managing Director David Pallangyo said the authority started implementing the project on September 19, 2019, saying the project had to be completed in two months but the timeframe had to be extended by 30 days due to arrival delays of solar panels and a water pump from abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Construction works involved the renovation of a water tank, 13 water drawing points in the village and installation of a solar panel. The project has the capacity to produce 336,000 litres a day. Mr. Pallangyo said that all Makang\u2019wa villagers will now have access to water supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water supply network extension project<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the government disbursed US $100m as advanced funds to implement a water supply network extension project to reach more households in Makang\u2019wa and neighbouring villages. Tanzania\u2019s Deputy Minister for water Jumaa Aweso directed officers under his portfolio to conduct a feasibility study for the water supply extension project and seek two water sources to end water scarcity in the area. \u201cWater supply network should now be extended to neighbouring villages to ensure more people have access to water supply,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mtera MP Livingstone Lusinde commended the government for the water project, saying it had addressed water scarcity in the area and would help the villagers improve food security by engaging in irrigation schemes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
