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.

Water insecurity in Kenya for the middle class should be a myth in this day and age. The average middle classer may drop 20k on buying whisky rounds and nyama choma per weekend yet cries water insecurity. If they invested that money monthly in a clay tile roof and massive underground storage these wailings about water would be no more. Solar backup system pia. Well at least one that can power basic lights and charge phones and run the water pump in an emergency situation.

Sorted out this problem through water harvesting & storage. Initially expensive but eventually worth every cent. Peace of mind over the last 5 years.

I have water at some spot in my shamba. I spoke to someone calling themselves an expert and they said the water is perfect for drinking. Someone mentioned that I might need to visit NEMA for a "permit" to use this water....is this true? Also, any expert here with advice on how i can secure the place to prevent contamination and access(pump) this water some meters upstream for family use? Appreciated.

I thought they chased you away from State House 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.

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

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?

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?
