Residents of Kalengera, a village in Ntenjeru Sub County, Mukono district are calling for a fresh valuation of land and properties affected by the construction of the new Water Treatment Plant at Katosi, Mukono district.

The plant which is expected to supply 160 million liters of water per day will also have a 60,000 liters capacity water reservoir at Nsumba hill in Mukono district, 55km bulk heavy duty transmission mains, another 15,000 litres capacity water reservoir at Sonde hill and booster station in Namugongo all to supply 4 million residents in Kampala Metropolitan area.

According to, the Public Relations Manager at National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) Samuel Apedel, the area depends entirely on Gaba Water despite the rapidly expanding population.

Joseph Lwoga, a resident of Kalengera village says that his land and crop garden were jointly valued at less than 500,000 Shillings, which he says is too little even to cover the cost of production, not even find an alternative land for relocation.
