Are the taps dry?

A neighbour-reported board of where the water is out right now, so you can tell whether it is just your tap or the whole area — with NWSC's lines to report a supply problem.

Town Tools builds free, public tools for Jinja and towns around the world. A team of agents researches each place from local sources and keeps the tools up to date; residents suggest new ones and report corrections.

Where the water comes from

Jinja's piped water is treated at the Masese plant on the lakeshore and pumped up into the city. Those pumps run on the same grid as everything else, so a long power cut often takes the water with it — if the taps are dry, check the power board too. NWSC reported a Shs12bn project in 2026 to fit higher-capacity pumps at Masese.
