*Nairobi Water Intensifies Crackdown on Illegal Water Connections, nets 13 Illegal Water Pumps* Earlier today, our Security and Technical teams with reinforcement from the Adminstration Police Unit carried a crackdown on illegal water connections on a pipeline running along Outer Ring Road at Kware area, Lower Embakasi Region. The disconnection exercise overseen by the team netted 13 illegal water pumps drawing water directly from the pipeline and serving residents of Outer- Ring, Donholm, Fedha, Pipeline, Nyayo and Umoja Estates. *Call to regularize Connections* The Lower Embakasi, Regional Manager, Martha Bedi, took the opportunity during the operation to call on area residents to regularize their connections. " We want to urge our customers to come forward and regularize their connections. Currently, a good number have come to formalize their details and meter connections are ongoing for those who have applied." She stated. The Regional Technical Coordinator, Tyson Mwenda noted that the punctured pipeline had been interfering with the water supply due to low pressure. "The line runs from Gigiri and passes through Karura forest onto Thika Road and makes it way to Outer Ring. This illegal connections pose a challenge the supply. We always keep a keen eye on all the water infrastructure serving this area with an ultimate goal of reducing Non-Revenue Water and enhancing the supply." He affirmed. *Reprieve to Residents* A number of Kware area residents came out to appreciate the efforts by the Company to combat illegal connections which have been denying them adequate services many pledging to report the illegal connections. " We have seen a lot of goodwill from Nairobi Water in ensuring that supply of water is improved. Expect more tip offs and ground intelligence from those engaging in the vice. We are in this together." added John Wanjohi- a resident of Kware.
