The Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company (NCWSC) has issued a warning against illegal connections, saying they threaten equitable water distribution and public health.

Nahason Muguna said, while the company strives to meet the growing demand for water in the city, illegal connections continue to undermine their efforts. "As we work to ensure sustainable water access in Nairobi, we are faced with the dual challenge of increasing demand due to rapid population growth and the persistent issue of illegal connections," he said.
Illegal water connections, which divert supply from legitimate customers, have long plagued the city, resulting to huge losses and reduced efficiency in water distribution.
