AfricaPress-Kenya: The Lake Victoria South Water Works Development Agency (LVSWWDA) has donated water tanks with a total capacity of 100, 000 litres to help fight Covid-19 infections in Homa Bay County.
He said the tanks with a capacity of 5,000 litres each will be distributed to various parts of the county for water supply.Omino said his organisation is currently undertaking a number of water projects in the county to ensure residents get clean water.“
Governor Awiti who was accompanied by his deputy Hamilton Orata and Finance CECM Nicholas Koriko said his administration has plans of partnering with various development partners to improve services in the county.“What LVSWWDA has done to us implies that they care for the health of Homa Bay residents. My administration will continue to partner with them,” said Awiti.
The county bosses appealed to the LVSWWDA to help them supply clean water to residents of rural sub-counties such as Ndhiwa, Suba, Rangwe and Rachuonyo East.
The project can be done by pumping water to a hill before it flows to beneficiaries through gravitational force,” said Awiti.Orata said the plan will cushion residents from the adverse impact of climate change.
“There is a serious water problem especially in Ndhiwa where residents are currently relying on boreholes which are prone to drying up due to the adverse impact of climate change. The agency can help us a lot if it intervenes with a giant water project in Ndhiwa and the other constituencies affected by serious water shortage,” Orata said.
