(a) Yes, I am aware that Mumias Urban Water Supply, which was constructed more than 30 years ago, cannot meet the current water demands for Mumias Town due to rapid population growth over the years without corresponding increase in water production. (b) My Ministry, through the National Water Conservation and Pipeline Corporation (NWCPC), has drilled a borehole in Mumias Town. The borehole is expected to alleviate the water shortage once it is equipped and commissioned. My Ministry, with the assistance of the Government of Germany, has commissioned a consultant to undertake feasibility studies for long-term expansion and rehabilitation measures for 892 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 25, 2007 Mumias water supply. The study is expected to be completed by the end of this financial year. Rehabilitation and augmentation works will be undertaken under the Water and Sanitation Programme for Nzoia cluster. The programme is planned to benefit 12 towns which fall within Lake Victoria North Water Services Board and will run to the year 2016."
