WASA confirms signing deals with foreign companies

The Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) has confirmed that it has signed a $3.8 million contract with a Spanish company to improve its service provided to consumers. 

JYOTI reported news of the deal last week based on an announcement from the Barcelona based company.

WASA has also reported that it has signed an agreement with a Ugandan utility company to train WASA personnel in management strategies and improving organisation performance. 

The authority signed the agreement with Spanish firm Aquagest Solutions following a January 26 board meeting. The company will provide consultancy services for the design, preparation and presentation of an operational transformation plan for the utility. 

“The project is being executed over a four-month period, during which time Aquagest Solutions will conduct water and wastewater project audits in accordance with WASA’s strategic goals, review the organisation’s processes and analyse selected business models to determine the best model for the organisation,” the authority said in a media release. 

The deal with the Ugandan National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) of Uganda for collaboration on performance improvement initiatives and capacity building is for a 14-month period, beginning this month. The cost is just under two million dollars.
