Dawasa blames rising water demand for Dar es Salaam's dry taps. The Dar es Salaam Water and Sewerage Authority (Dawasa) has attributed the persistent water shortages in the city to a surge in demand that has outstripped supply. Officials from Dawasa stated that the rapid population growth and increased economic activities in Dar es Salaam have led to a significant rise in water consumption, putting a strain on the existing water infrastructure. The authority is reportedly working on measures to address the deficit, including exploring new water sources and improving distribution networks, but these efforts are expected to take time. Residents continue to face challenges accessing clean and reliable water, impacting daily life and businesses across the city.
