GOVERNMENT has released K14.5 billion to Nkana Water and Sewerage Company (NWSC) to improve water reticulation and sanitation facilities in Kitwe’s Wusakile township.
The money will be used to build over 1,000 lavatories, and the project is expected to begin next month.
NWSC public relations manager Damaseke Chibale said in an interview in Kitwe yesterday that Government has demonstrated commitment to developing the water sector.
“Government has given us K14.5 billion for the improvement of sanitation facilities by constructing individual toilets in Wusakiletownship. We received the money last month, and we are happy that Government and its partners have continued supporting us to improve sanitation facilities in the communities,” Mr Chibale said.
He said Wusakile residents are happy that Government is committed to improving sanitation facilities in the township.
Mr Chibale said the construction of lavatories will help improve sanitation in the township, and urged the public to support the project.
NWSC is expected to build toilets for 1,700 lavatories to replace the dilapidated communal ones.
