Ku batuye mu mijyi benshi, serivisi y’amazi ni kimwe mu bikorwa remezo bibaho mu buryo busanzwe ku buryo abantu batagitekerezaho cyane. Amazi ava muri robine igihe akenewe, hanyuma fagitire ikaza ukwezi kurangiye. Hagati y’ibi bihe byombi, abantu bake ni bo bibuka cyane uko ayo mazi yabagezeho.

Nyamara, mu bice bimwe bya Kigali, amazi yatangiye kugira uruhare rutandukanye mu ngengo y’imari y’ingo. Ntakigaragara gusa kuri fagitire ya WASAC, ahubwo yabaye ikintu abantu bagura buri munsi.

Ubu ariko aho ibintu bigeze, mu ma karitsiye amwe n’amwe ijerikani nke z’amazi zaguzwe kubera ikibazo cyo kubura amazi muri robine, gishobora kwihuta kikavamo kimwe mu bintu bitunguranye kandi bihenda cyane urugo mu kwezi.

Iyo Serivisi Ihinduka Ikiguzi cya Buri Munsi

Ikibazo cyamazi ari abacyumva ariko ntibaishyikire neza. Umwe mu batuye mu Kagarama, imwe muri karitsiye ziyubashye z’uyu Mujyi mu Karere ka Kicukiro avuga ko bamaze hafi ibyumweru bibiri badafite amazi. Igikomeye si icyo kibazo cyabayeho ubwacyo, ahubwo ni ibyakurikiyeho.

Abaturage batangiye kugura amazi, kandi imibare bavuga iratangaje. Umuryango ukoresha amajerikani 10 ku munsi, buri jerekani igurwa amafaranga y’u Rwanda 500 nk’uko babivuga, ukoresha amafaranga 5,000 ku munsi. Mu byumweru bibiri gusa, ayo mafaranga aba ageze ku 70,000 Frw.

Ku miryango myinshi, ayo mafaranga aba yari kujya mu biribwa, amafaranga y’ishuri cyangwa akazigamwa. Nubwo ingaruka zabyo zitaba zikomeye ku buryo zakwibazwaho buri munsi mu makuru, zihindura buhoro buhoro imyanzuro y’ingo.

Kumesa imyenda birasubikwa, abana bgaahora bibutswa kudasesagura amazi. Buri kintu cyose cy’amazi cyinjijwe mu rugo kiba gifite agaciro kihariye.

Felix Niyigena, utuye mu Murenge wa Kanombe, avuga ko iki kibazo cyatumye imiryango myinshi itangira kureba mu buryo butandukanye serivisi bahoraga bafata nk’isanzwe.

Ati: “Ikibazo si ugushaka amazi gusa. Ni uguhindura uburyo utegura ubuzima bwa buri munsi. Uko usukura, uteka, woza cyangwa utegura gahunda zawe byose birahinduka iyo amazi atakiboneka uko bisanzwe.”

Nk’uko Niyigena abivuga, abantu benshi batangira kubona agaciro nyakuri k’amazi ari uko babuze ayo bakoresha. Ni bwo basobanukirwa ko ibikorwa byinshi byo mu rugo bishingira ku kintu baba basanzwe batitaho.

Imibare na yo irabigaragaza. Ku biciro bivugwa n’abaturage, igitangira nk’igisubizo cy’igihe gito gishobora kwihuta kikavamo umutwaro munini kandi utateganyijwe ku rugo.

Itandukaniro Hagati y’Igiciro n’Ikiguzi Nyakuri

Igitangaje muri iki kibazo ni itandukaniro riri hagati y’igiciro cyemewe cy’amazi n’ayo bamwe mu baturage bavuga ko bari kwishyura.

Robert Bimenyimana, Umuvugizi wa WASAC Group, avuga ko ijerekani y’amazi ku ivomo rusange igura amafaranga 20 gusa.

Ati: “Mu by’ukuri amazi ntiyakagombye guhenda kuko ku mavomo rusange ijerekani igomba kugura amafaranga 20. Igihe amazi ahari, nta muntu wagakwiye kuyagurisha amafaranga 500 ku jerekani.”

Iri tandukaniro rigaragaza uburyo ikibazo cyo kubura amazi gishobora gutuma havuka isoko ritari risanzwe.

Nubwo igiciro cya leta kidahinduka, abaturage bakeneye amazi ako kanya bavuga ko akenshi basanga bayagura ku giciro kiri hejuru cyane binyuze ku bantu ku giti cyabo cyangwa abadandaza.

Bimenyimana avuga ko ibyo bikorwa bitemewe n’amategeko kandi bishobora guhanirwa.

Ati: “Umuntu wese ugurisha amazi ku giciro gikabije ashobora guhanwa kuko bitemewe n’amategeko. Dufatanya n’inzego z’ibanze kugira ngo abantu bashinzwe izi nshingano bakore neza, kandi abakora ibinyuranyije n’amategeko bakurwe muri izo nshingano.”

Ariko ku miryango ishaka amazi yo gukoresha uwo munsi, ikibazo nyamukuru si amategeko ahubwo ni ukubona amazi ahari.

Isomo Ryerekana Uko Umujyi Ukora

Nk’uko WASAC ibivuga, bimwe mu bibazo by’amazi biherutse kugaragara byatewe n’imirimo yo gusana ibikorwa remezo, ibibazo by’amashanyarazi ndetse n’imbogamizi za tekiniki zifitanye isano n’imiyoboro y’amazi.

Bimenyimana ati: “Turabizi ko hari ibice bimwe bya Kicukiro na Gasabo byamaze iminsi bidafite amazi. Hari imirimo yo gusana yari iri gukorerwa kuri sitasiyo zimwe. Hari n’igihe amashanyarazi adahagaze neza bikagira ingaruka ku itangwa ry’amazi.”

Yongeyeho ko Kagarama na Mageragere biri mu duce tugifite ibibazo bitewe n’ikorwa nabi rya pompe ikwirakwiza amazi ava kuri sitasiyo ya Kimisange.

Ibi bisobanuro byerekana ukuri guherekeza iterambere ry’umujyi uwo ari wo wose. Serivisi zisa n’izoroheje ku maso y’abantu zishingira ku muyoboro mugari ugizwe n’imiyoboro, amapompo, ibigega, inganda zitunganya amazi n’amashanyarazi.

Akenshi ibyo byose bikora mu buryo bworoheje ku buryo abantu batabibona. Babimenya gusa iyo bihagaze.

Ibyo bitwibutsa ko agaciro k’amazi katagaragarira gusa kuri fagitire y’ukwezi. Hari igihe kigaragarira mu mafaranga atunguranye, mu mpinduka ziba ngombwa mu buzima bwa buri munsi no mu bindi biciro byiyongera igihe serivisi abantu benshi bafata nk’isanzwe ihindutse ikintu bagomba gutekerezaho buri munsi.

Ahari icyo ni cyo kiguzi cya buri gitonyanga iyo ama robine yumye.
