Residents of Nakuru are set to benefit from enhanced access to clean and improved sanitation services after the devolved unit announced that upgrade and expansion of the water and sewage system would kick off soon.
Governor Susan Kihika said the upgrade dubbed the 'The Lake Nakuru Biodiversity Conservation Project' which will start in a couple of months will be funded through a Sh5.6 billion grant from the German Development Bank.
Kihika indicated that one of the highlights of the mega project will be the decommissioning of the 63-year-old Kaloleni Waste Water Treatment Plant, which will be phased out and its waste directed to the upgraded Njoro Treatment Works, which has the capacity to process 20,000 cubic meters of water per day.
In a statement outlining her scorecard for the past one year, the governor affirmed that the project will involve expanding the water supply network and upgrading the aged water supply and dilapidated sewerage treatment system.
