The Department of Public Health has declared water from shallow wells in the populous Kihoto estate in Naivasha as unfit for human consumption.
According to the department, the water was highly contaminated following the rise in Lake Naivasha, which has ended up flooding pit latrines and the nearby wells.
This came as the department called on those near the lake to start relocating following an alert by the weather department over the expected El Nino rains that could lead to more flooding.
