From 29.05.2018 to 31.05.2018, the IFF team visited the Shinyanga Water Supply and Sanitation Authority. The main aim of the visit was to assess the existing water supply situation and the proposal that was submitted to IFF-OBA.
The team explored the 18,000m3 water storage tank which is fed by KASHWASA bulk water from Lake Victoria. Due to high pressure the water is distributed to four elevated break pressure tanks that have a capacity of 250m³ each.
The team also visited the earmarked project areas in Ndembezi, Butengwa, Masekelo and Kitangili to assess the tapping point and to conduct meetings with Mtaa leader. Those meetings were instrumental to assess the prevailing water situation in the areas and the future customer’s willingness to pay for the water connection.
