EWSA, Mayors discuss Eastern province water shortage

RWAMAGANA- Old and dilapidated water pipes, many of which are yet to be repaired or upgraded since installation many years ago in parts of the Eastern Province are behind a crippling water shortage. This was disclosed at a consultative meeting, over the weekend, that brought together mayors and Energy, Water and Sanitation Authority (EWSA) officials. EWSA official, Albert Yaramba, attributed the problem to poor maintenance, adding that local leaders and the Ministry of Infrastructure are to blame.
