NAIROBI CITY WATER SUPPLY


MAVWASO obtains bulk of its water supply from Nairobi city water company,the supply fron Nairobi is about 90,000m3 of water per month.However due to to a decrease in water levels at Ndakaini Dam which result in water rationing fron Nairobi water the supply to MAVWASCO at times falls below the expected volumes.Tussles over the Nairobi-Athiriver Water line ownership and encroachment by EPZA into our area of water supply jurisdiction by establishing a parallel and competing water supply network has also posed a challenge.MAVWASCO through Tanathi water service board and the government of Kenya has secured financing in the year 2017/2018 to construct a dedicated water line for supply of fresh water from Nairobi to Athiriver. This will be done through the MAVOKO WATER SUPPLY PROJECT which is at the implementation stage.
