No idea. This ka-line is for those near EPZ area of Kitengela/Athi River I would assume.
For me, the funny thing is why we as Kenyans always resort to stone age technologies that many other nations are moving from. Could it be we lack imagination, inspiration and creativity? Or we are just too lazy to pick up a few books and do a google search in order to find out what solutions work best and are environmentally safe for all.
I have said it umpteen times here before. The future of waste disposal and having clean, fluoride and contaminant free water is very simple

1. Biodigesters - the most environmentally safe way to dispose organic human waste on the planet. Byproduct; recyclable H20 and harmless quantities of gas
2. Rainwater harvesting from clay roofs
3. Building adequate underground water storage to harvest said water, plus additional storage on grade if necessary (depending on family size)
4. Go 100% solar with KPLC being "back up" tu

But people never listen. They would rather spend millions of shillings building antiquated lines that will leak and contaminate groundwater evern more, massive sewer plants that require hundreds of millions of shillings, drill boreholes full of contaminated salty/fluoride infested water (and sewerage contaminants) or get Kanjo water that sometimes comes out black as night in Lavington let alone the rest of the city and suburbs.

If people do not want to learn, can you blame them?

They will be the same ones mourning over cancer for three weeks wondering what happened when someone famous dies of it.

Isatragedy!

This respectfully, is not true.
For commercial flats, if a tiny 2sqm unit can serve 100 users beautifully
and a 4sqm unit can serve 400 users efficiently
water disposal is of little to no concern if the soakaways are competently built, EVEN in black cotton soil areas. The water gets disposed into the soakaways easily without any pooling issues.It can even be recycled for trees, lawns and shrubs with no harmful health effects!
Biodigesters that are properly built exceed all NEMA discharge standards and the daily approvals NEMA gives to large projects that use them is clear evidence of this.
If you ever paid 80k to a NEMA official for a biodigester "license" to do anything then chances are you are being extorted or conned by said officials IMHO.

Isn't there a risk of the effluent from the biodigester contaminating water in an underground tank? Note that its difficult to make an undergound water tank 100% leak proof.
