Non-Revenue Water Reduction in Rural Nakuru County

Nakuru Rural Water and Sanitation Company (NARUWASCO) launched a major initiative to reduce high non-revenue water losses. Serving approximately 1.1 million people in Nakuru County, home to 4.15% of Kenya’s population, NARUWASCO has an average NRW rate of 50%, double the national benchmark of 25%. The project is targeting the Western Region, where NRW levels have reached 75%. NARUWASCO is implementing a series of focused interventions, including systematic leak detection and repairs. These efforts aim to curb physical water losses and enhance system efficiency.
