So I live in Barnabas Nakuru. Today the agent told me the water bill and it’s a little bit higher than what we used. I asked what they charged per unit and he said it’s ksh 150. I don’t know if this is true (it’s a new apartment and this is 1st time paying)
Anyone who lives in Barnabas, anaweza kuconfirm kama hii ni real namba amaagent ananiovercharge.
1 unit = 1m3 = 1,000 litres. At 150 bob, you are being charged 15 cents per litre. Note that in many slums water is sold at 20 bob per 20 litre mtungi ie Ksh 1,000 per unit.
The water cartels stuff pieces of mattress in the pipes to cut water supply to specific areas so that they can resell the 100 bob per unit water supplied by kanjo to slums at 1,000 bob per unit.
