After touring Nzove Water Treatment Plant and receiving explanations on how water is treated, he acknowledged the role of all Government institutions and different development partners in the water sector for having made the new Nzove I a reality.
Premier Ngirente also thanked Culligan International East Africa and Central Asia (EACA) for the good implementation of the project.
He highlighted that the target of the Government of Rwanda as outlined in the National Strategy for Transformation, 2017-2024 (NST1), is to scale up clean water to all households.
“The inauguration of new Nzove I Water Treatment Plant and the upgrading of Nzove II are a major milestone in providing access to clean drinking water to our citizens. This is very important for the residents of the City of Kigali who has been experiencing the shortage of clean water, especially those living in Nyamirambo and Gikondo sectors,”
he said.
In this regard, he reiterated that the Government will continue to increase its investments in construction, extension, and rehabilitation of more than one thousand nine hundred kilometers (1,900 km) of water supply systems in the City of Kigali and other towns.
Premier Ngirente reassured that by 2024, the daily water production capacity will be increased from m3 182.120 to m3 303.120 per day.
