It is being undertaken at Uterere and Kisegi villages as well as Kiwa Island.
The project entails the construction of water treatment plants, the installation of water tanks and kiosks to enable residents to get clean water.

Speaking during the launch, Omondi said the project will cushion residents from health issues that result from the use of clean water.
"The genesis of good health is the consumption of clean water. Implementation of this project is going to improve the health of the people of this area," Omondi said.
Yator said the project will enhance the sanitation of residents. This is through the construction of toilets on beaches and schools in the area.
