The County Government of Kirinyaga has stepped up efforts to reduce Non-Revenue Water (NRW) through the installation of a master meter at the Muratiri Water Treatment Plant.
The new system will allow the county to monitor water production more accurately and compare it with actual consumption.
This will enable the detection of losses caused by leaks, pipe bursts, overflows, or illegal connections.
Non-revenue water is water that is lost or unaccounted for either through leaks, illegal connections or metering inaccuracies.
