Nobody publishes matatu or boda fares for Jinja, so this board is built from residents' own numbers. Sign in, say what you actually paid for a trip, and the board shows the middle figure from recent reports. It starts empty on purpose — putting our own guess up first would only teach the board to repeat it back.

How many units your money should give you at the rates ERA approved for July to September, where the money goes before it reaches the meter, and a check on a purchase you have already made. Units 81 to 150 cost less each than units 16 to 80 — that step is deliberate, and it makes cooking on electricity cheaper than the headline rate suggests.

When the lake rises, neighbours can now tell each other where the water has come up — Masese Landing Site, Walukuba, Lwabitooke and Kisima — so you can see whether it is just your street or the whole area, with the emergency numbers to call. It is residents reporting to each other, not a gauge; a report clears itself after about a day.

The town page now carries a colored-pencil sketch of the broad channel where the White Nile leaves Lake Victoria at Jinja, with a wooden fishing canoe resting near the bank.

Jinja already had a board for power cuts; now there is one for water. Tap the area you are in to report dry taps and see whether neighbours nearby are reporting the same, so you can tell if it is just your tap or the whole area. It is run by residents, with NWSC's toll-free lines for reporting a real supply problem. Because the Masese pumps share the grid, a long power cut often takes the water too — the page says so, and both boards now lead the Jinja page.

The board now tracks the 1 April 2026 notice for traders at the Source of the Nile to vacate ahead of a redevelopment — a separate matter from the street-vending trade order. The taxi-park court position after 7 May 2026 is still unverified.

Jinja's long and short rains, the last 30 days against the 30-year average, and the week ahead — with what heavy rain means for the lake, the power and the taps.

When the power goes, tap your area to report it and see whether neighbours nearby are reporting the same cut — so you can tell if it's just your house or the whole area. It's run by residents, not UEDCL, and shows UEDCL's free fault line and outage page alongside. Reports clear themselves after a few hours.

A neutral, dated board of where the 2026 trade-order enforcement, the taxi-park court freeze and the relocation proposals stand. Court matters move — the page says when it was last reviewed.

Straight, dated answers on power cuts, the Masese water link, garbage, the 2026 trade order and lakeshore flooding.

One page of working numbers — the city council, NWSC, UEDCL, the referral hospital and four police stations — each read off an official page on 11 June 2026.
