GGABA – National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) Sunday afternoon has restored Ggaba waterworks and that normal water production has resumed in all three plants.
Although the system has been restored, National Water says city dwellers will have to wait a little longer as it takes time for the system to stabilise after a total plant shutdown.
National water on Sunday morning announced that it experienced a total power outage at Ggaba waterworks, confirming that the incident affected all the major water production process and supply of water to Kampala City came to a standstill.
