Dar
es Salaam, Thursday, November 21st.2002 Dar Taps run dry again RESIDENTS in most parts of the city of Dar es salaam have no access to tap water for third -day running. Queues of people looking for water are everywhere in the city. Those who are fortunate to have water wells are making a brisk business and wish the situation to last forever. According to the authorities the reason for the failure to have water in the city is broken -down pumps. Despite having a Faculty of Engineering at the University of Dar es salaam and a Water Technology Institute Tanzania has never been able to make its own wate pumps so far. Meanwhile, the privatization process scheduled for next year has raised a lot of questions with some people arguing that the new water company should be owned partly by the residents of the city. A number of water supply projects upcountry are being run by residents of the localities themselves or in collaboration with investors or funding agencies.
