Water shortage hits Kigali as supply pipe damaged

RECO-RWASCO has embarked on works to repair the broken Nyabugogo water pipe, through which almost a quarter of the volume of water supplied within Kigali City is channelled. Theoneste Minani, the Water Department Director at RWASCO, said that besides repairing the pipe, they will also divert its route to mitigate the high pressure it has been subjected, especially in the waterlogged Nyabugogo swamp.
