GOVERNOR MUTULA DIRECTS WSPS TO INVEST IN TECHNOLOGY TO END NON REVENUE WATER

Governor Mutula Kilonzo Jr has called on Water Service Providers in Makueni to invest in technology to curb the menace of unaccounted water, leading to huge losses and low water supply capacity.

Speaking during a meeting with newly installed Boards of Directors for three WSPs in Kilome, Governor Mutula said the county government will invest in technology such as smart meters, bulk water meters, high-density polyethylene pipes and leakage detectors to reduce non revenue water.

KIBWASCO, one of the leading water supplies company in Kibwezi region has often recorded non revenue water of 63 percent, causing avoidable water shortages in the area.
