managing water services in Mathira East and West Sub-county. Undoubtedly, the company has made tremendous strides in the management and delivery of water services despite the difficult operating environment brought about by slow economic growth and an increase in basic commodity prices.<\/p><p align=\"justify\">We do affirm as a Company to work closely with the County Government in order to ensure clean, portable, and affordable water is available to all within the Company\u2019s area of jurisdiction.<br \/><strong>Water Coverage<\/strong><br \/>The Company has strived to expand coverage to those areas that currently do not have piped water hence the increase of coverage to 40%.<br \/>We will continue to sensitize the residents to use our water for drinking purposes only since this is treated and offers many benefits over untreated water and use the community projects for irrigation purposes<br \/><strong>Non-Revenue Water<\/strong><br \/>During the reporting period, our Non-Revenue Water which is the difference between the water produced for distribution and the water billed was 61% against a national average of 32%. This shows that the water lost as NRW is more than the water billed as revenue and the high value can be attributed to the fact that the schemes operated by the Company are old and over thirty years old and prone to corrosion and leakages.<\/p><p align=\"justify\"><strong>Metering<\/strong><br \/>It is the policy of the Company to meter all consumer connections in addition to metering major supply lines to monitor losses due to pipeline leakages and illegal connections. Our metering level is 76%. Metering is a critical tool for managing Non Revenue water and is also essential in managing per capita water consumption.<\/p><p align=\"justify\"><strong>Drinking-Water Quality<\/strong><br \/>The quality of drinking water has a direct impact on the health of our consumers.
