Currently, drinking water for the Lycee Rugari, which has around 500 boarding school students, and the residents of Rugari is brought in plastic canisters by women and children from a well 4 km away. The aim is now to improve the water supply by building a new water pipe to a distribution station near the boarding school and the village. This includes laying new pipes and renovating a water tower that was built a long time ago by German development workers and has not been used for 50 years, but is in a condition that can be renovated.
