This paper examines the factors affecting the sustainability of water projects in Dodoma City, focusing on Msalato Ward. Despite numerous investments by the Tanzanian government and development partners, many community water projects experience operational challenges, low reliability, and poor management. The study employed a mixed-methods approach involving 55 respondents, including households, ward leaders, and DUWASA officials. Data were collected using questionnaires, interviews, and observation. The results revealed that the sustainability of water projects in Msalato Ward is affected by technical, financial, institutional, and social factors. Frequent equipment breakdowns, limited spare parts, and insufficient community participation were major constraints. The study recommends strengthening technical capacity, enhancing community ownership, and ensuring transparency in fund management to promote project sustainability.
