Residents of Angurai East Ward in Teso North Sub-County, Busia County, are set to benefit from a Sh24 million water project aimed at addressing longstanding water shortages.
The county government's initiative is in its final stages and involves constructing two water tanks to supply over 2,000 households, including Kolanya Girls National School and Kolanya Boys High School.
The tanks, located at Kolanya and Oshoromo Hills, have capacities of 50,000 litres and 100,000 litres, respectively.
David Parapara, a Member of the County Assembly for Angurai East, said the project would ease the burden on residents who have struggled with water shortages. "These water storage facilities will significantly reduce the burden on residents who have long suffered from water shortages," he said.
