ELECTROGAZ moves to alleviate water shortage

KIGALI - With a new underground water extraction and treatment plant going operational early this month, several Kigali suburbs will no longer experience water shortages like in the past, Yves Muyange the acting Managing Director of ELECTROGAZ has said. In an interview with The Sunday Times yesterday, Muyange revealed that the new Nyabarongo plant located at Nzove outside Kigali has already started supplying water to the neighborhoods of Gisozi, Batsinda, Gaculiro estates, Nyarutarama, and Kagunga.“ Areas like Nyarutarama, Gisozi and Gaculiro will have water permanently,” said Muyange. The plant will also supply water to Kimihurura and Kacyiru in a few days time when they are connected to the new network. Muyange attributed the past water shortages in Kigali to among other reasons lack of planning in the construction industry.
