Project description

Aquavirunga is responsible for operating and maintaining several rural piped water supply systems with the District of Rubavu. Although the involvement of Aquavirunga has much improved the water supply situation in the area to date, the operator does not have the financial means to rehabilitate and/or extend the two systems. The WaterWorX program thus partnered PWN & Aquavirunga for water improvements.
