Kenya Loses 42 Percent of its Treated Water Due to Leaks, Theft and Meter Inaccuracies
Published on by Water Network Research, Official research team of The Water Network in Government
Kenya loses nearly half of its treated drinking water to leaks, theft and meter inaccuracies, the Water Services Providers Association (WASPA) has said.
WASPA also said the county loses about Sh8 billion (around $80 million) annually and needs about Sh100 billion (almost $1 billion) to replace aging water infrastructure, which is partly to blame.
Waspa chairman Daniel Ng’ang’a said non-revenue water remains a major threat to the sector. Mr Ng’ang’a, who is also Murang’a Water and Sewerage Company managing director, said the association has been promoting use of smart meters and billing.
