Some locals in Ojwina Division and Kirombe Parish in Lira City have now resorted to shallow wells.
Ms Colline Ajok of Good Life Restaurant said lack of piped water has made business difficult.
 Ms Christine Akello of Bedigen Restaurant in Ober Ward, said they wake up at around 5am and trek for about two kilometres in search of water.
The area manager of National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC), Mr Gerazio Tukahirwa, attributed the water shortage to power blackout which occurred on Saturday. 
Mr Tukahirwa said whenever there is power outage, they operate at half capacity and this affects their production.
