2.1 DAR ES SALAAM WATER AND SEWERAGE AUTHORITY (DAWASA)

In 1981 the Government of Tanzania established the National Urban Water Authority and charged it with the responsibility to develop and manage urban water supply on the mainland of Tanzania.
The DAWASA area of operations incorporates the Cities of Dar Es Salaam, Kibaha, Bagamoyo and the corridors of its two transmission lines. The Dar es Salaam Water Supply and Sewerage Authority is responsible for providing water supply services to its customers (about 100 000) in its area of operations. DAWASA also provides sewerage services to a small number of customers (around 20, 000) in the City of Dar Es Salaam. By the late 1990s it was evident that DAWASA was unable to respond quickly enough to meet customer demands for improved levels of service and improve finances to adequately maintain and replace its aging assets.
