The Ministry of Water and Environment through the Water and Sanitation Development Facility–North has conducted a technical handover of two newly constructed water supply and sanitation facilities in Adjumani District and Moyo District, marking a key step toward improving access to clean water in the region.
The facilities include the Boroli Refugee Piped Water Supply and Sanitation System in Adjumani District and the Arra-Dufile RGC Piped Water Supply and Sanitation System in Moyo District. Both systems were officially handed over to Umbrella of Water and Sanitation – Northern to take charge of their operation and maintenance.
According to officials, the technical handover process was conducted to identify any construction defects that may still need correction. These issues will be addressed by the contractors during the defects liability period to ensure the systems function effectively before full operationalization.
Once fully operational, the Boroli water system is expected to serve about 7,541 people by the year 2045, covering communities such as Boroli Central, Amuru and Liria villages, as well as Boroli II refugee settlement. Meanwhile, the Arra-Dufile system is projected to serve 20,282 people by 2044, benefiting communities including Lebubu 3, Dufile 3, Akka 4, Nzerea and Chinyi 6 villages and parishes.
The Arra-Dufile project was constructed by Royal Techno Industries Limited with consultancy services provided by Asense Services Ltd. The Boroli water supply system was implemented by KOL LTD Services under the direct supervision of the Ministry through the Water and Sanitation Development Facility–North.
Funding for the two projects was provided by the Government of Uganda with co-financing from the KfW Development Bank on behalf of the German Government. The projects were also supported technically by Consulting Engineers Salzgitter (CES), which served as the international management consultant.
The development is expected to significantly improve access to safe and reliable water services for both host communities and refugee settlements in the two districts, contributing to better sanitation, public health, and sustainable water management in northern Uganda.
