Is the water held on a surface well, shallow well, deep well or borehole?

I thought they chased you away from State Housesmile
Anyway which general area is this?

Anyone in Kilimani, Lavington area. I am guessing those luxury 10+ story apartments must always have water. I cannot imagine how they could possibly not have water even for a single minute in a 24 hour day.

they have very large tanks per unit. even if water comes once a week they are sorted.

Where in Nairobi are you most assured of never running out of water?

While you are at it please also comment on the area with the most reliable power supply.


Old Runda-they have own water supply system. Other places are out of Nairobi like Kiambu road.

Nairobi is one hot mess, water supply is through tankers and jerrycans instead of pipes. And someone said Borrow Yieng has done the most infrastructure projects.

How safe is that water that runda draws from ruaka river?

Why would someone need a permit to use water that is in his own shamba?

After the folks at Kawangware are done smile the lavinton folks get some really dirty water. You can check this NTV story on the black sewer water that comes through the taps at times.

@Shambaman, what is the main source of piped water for Kitengela? Does Kitengela have a central sewer system or does every one take care of their own shit with a septic tank?

Kusandikika,
Didnt you read my post hapo juu?
Water fresh and nywee, then distilled for double measure. Sewerage pipes are old antiquated things from a bygone era my bradza. Thats how you end up with feces in your water. Biodigesters are the most efficient and environmentally friendly waste disposal method. Get with the times mfana wami.

You are telling us the only source of water in Kitengela is rain water with underground storage? I had heard something about EPZ getting water from Kilimanjaro. Does this line have connections to peoples houses?

For those with boreholes, what is yield and how far do you have to go to get it? Has the water table changed over the years?
