For that reason, the hill was chosen to house the water storage tanks for National Water and Sewerage Corporation, which supplies Kampala, Kira and Mukono. Because of the water tanks, Muyenga is also known as Tank Hill. The hill commands expansive views of the city towards the north and the west. To the east and the south the predominant view is that of nearby Lake Victoria. Prior to Uganda's Independence in 1962 and through the 1960's and 1970's, Muyenga was an upscale residential area, on account of the excellent views and cool breezes. After the removal of the Obote II regime in 1986, there followed a period of rapid, unplanned and coordinated development of the real estate on Muyenga. As a result, it is an area with good houses but with a chaotic road and drainage system. Many of the property owners on the hill are from government and business who bought plots and put up expensive buildings without conforming to the rules of urban planning. Kabalagala, a neighborhood to the west of Muyenga, suffered from the same mismanagement of urban planning. _____________________________________________________ Landmarks and places to Visit in Muyenga area in Kampala City in Uganda_____________________________________________________________________________________________ Landmarks on Muyenga Hill or near the hill include:• Water storage tanks of the National Water and Sewerage Corporation • Kampala International University (KIU) - one of the 30 universities in Uganda • Diplomate Hotel - Managed by the Protea Hotel chain • Kabalagala - Location of numerous restaurants, bars and nightclubs __________________________________________________
