𝐌𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐈, 𝟗𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 -More than 6,500 residents of Mavindini Ward are set to benefit from improved access to safe and reliable water following the commissioning of the Athi-Mavindini Water Project by Governor Mutula Kilonzo Jr. on Wednesday.

The governor commissioned the project during his development tour of Mavindini Ward, accompanied by Deputy Governor Lucy Mulili, Makueni County Assembly Speaker Douglas Mbilu, Clerk Kevin Mutuku, county officials and several MCAs.

The project comprises a 100-cubic-metre reinforced concrete intake sump, a solar-powered pumping system, more than 11 kilometres of rising main and over 7.5 kilometres of distribution pipelines.

It also includes a water treatment plant and solar-powered pumping system at Miangeni, a 150-cubic-metre masonry storage tank at Ilumani, security facilities, sanitation amenities, CCTV cameras and security lighting.Three institutions have been connected to the water supply, while two markets, three water kiosks and one water point are also being served.

The project further includes a four-kilometre irrigation pipeline with 40 tees, supporting agricultural activities in the area.

The County Government of Makueni, working in partnership with FLLoCA, has enhanced the Athi water supply system to enable abstraction of between 18 and 20 cubic metres of water per hour from the Athi River.The water is treated at Miangeni before 15 cubic metres per hour is conveyed to the Ilumani storage tank for distribution.The investment has substantially improved water security in Athi-Mavindini and reduced residents’ dependence on untreated river water.

Governor Mutula said the project will reduce exposure to crocodile attacks along the Athi River, particularly among residents who previously depended on the river for their water needs.

He said the infrastructure would strengthen access to reliable water for households, institutions, businesses and irrigation in the area. He called upon residents to protect the project against vandalism.
