Our Mission and Vision
The mission of the company is to ensure the provision of quality, affordable, reliable, portable, and sustainable water and sanitation services to all the residents of Mathira East and West Sub-counties in line with the Vision 2030 and the UN Millennium Development goals.
The success of the company in its operating environment is based on its strengths of favorable support from the County Government and other partners, good customer base, engagement of professional staff, the topology of the region that allows for the use of gravity in the distribution of water, elaborate water connection and sewerage system, supportive local community and leaders among others. Not, withstanding our stated strengths, the company faces some key challenges which include: declining levels of river flows, low supply coverage, community water projects, the high number of inactive connections, high Non-Revenue Water (NRW), old dilapidated supply system in the rural scheme and inadequate treatment water and sewer capacity.

WHAT WE DO
2005 - Today
Changing lives throught the years
We provide over 13 thousand people across our region with fresh, clean drinking water every day – that’s about ten million litres. And when they’ve finished with it, we take it away again and clean and treat it before returning it safely to the environment. To make sure that our customers can continue to enjoy our product for years to come we’re investing more than Ksh 40bn between 2014 and 2025 on new and existing assets like pipes, treatment works and reservoirs.
Water saving tips
Small changes. Big impact. Save water. Save life.
A single dripping tap can waste up to 20 liters of clean water each day — fixing leaks saves both water and money.
Why save water?
Saving water ensures there’s enough for everyone while reducing strain on water systems and the environment. It also helps combat Non-Revenue Water (NRW) by minimizing losses through leaks, wastage, and unauthorized use.
Community Tip
Spreading awareness in your community helps multiply the impact of your own water-saving efforts. When schools, workplaces, and neighborhoods work together, conserving water becomes a shared responsibility that benefits everyone.
