Narok Town residents have approved a proposal by Narok Water and Sewerage Services Company (NARWASSCO) to increase water tariffs for the next five years following a public participation forum held at the Narok Youth Centre.
The approval comes despite concerns over the utility’s inability to meet the town’s growing water demand.
Narok requires about 12 million litres (12,000 cubic metres) of water daily, but currently produces only 4.5 million litres (4,500 cubic metres), resulting in a daily deficit of approximately 7.5 million litres.
Under the proposed tariff review, charges for various consumer categories, including multi-dwelling units, gated communities, commercial establishments, government institutions, schools, colleges, kiosks and water vending points, will increase by between Sh20 and Sh50 per cubic metre.
