Nakuru County Government has prioritized investments in water infrastructure, with a focus on integrating advanced technologies and materials that would ensure sustainability and resilience.
Deputy Governor David Kones indicated that the County's collaboration with the national government agencies, development partners, Non-Governmental Organizations and the private sector had significantly improved water supply infrastructure ensuring more residents access the essential resource.
Kones said the county government had renewed focus on improving water supply infrastructure through projects like drilling and rehabilitating boreholes, expanding pipelines, and promoting water-sensitive urban design, aiming to address water scarcity and improve access to clean water.
The Deputy Governor pointed out that as the County endeavoured to achieve the right to clean and safe water in adequate quantities, there was need to recognize and implement the requirements of the Constitution of Kenya 2010, Article 43 (1), (b), (c), (d) provision which guarantees reasonable standard of sanitation, freedom from hunger, and safe water in adequate quantities.
