    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the distribution pipes at Busia Hills Water Supply experience frequent bursts due to old age and their sizes and are inadequate to satisfy the water demand in the supply area. The pipes were laid during the period 1976/77 to carry 300 cubic metres of water per day against the current water demand of about 600 cubic metres per day. (b) My Ministry recognises that the storage facilities for the water supply are inadequate. At present, only one tank of 90 cubic metres capacity is in use as the second tank is severely cracked. My Ministry will construct a 100 cubic metres storage tank at Busia in the 2006/2007 Financial Year. (c) My Ministry, through the Lake Victoria North Water Services Board, will install a standby generator at the water supply's intake in the coming financial year. My Ministry has also requested the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) to consider installing a sub-station at Mundere and Bumbe so as to reduce power fluctuations which are not only disrupting the operations of this water supply, but are also damaging pumping equipment."
