TATUWASCo Feted Top Private Utility Company in a Row

The Water Services Regulatory Board (WASREB) has named Tatu City Water and Sanitation Company (TATUWASCo) the best-performing private utility firm in Kenya for the second year in a row.

A comprehensive water and sewage network, including 15 million liter water storage tanks, a strong trunk and water distribution network, and internal and external sewer trunks serving public and private schools, homes, businesses, and industries, has been built by TATUWASCo over the past ten years with billions of Kenyan shillings in investment.

“This achievement is a testament to the tireless efforts of our team and our commitment to providing the highest standards of water and sanitation services to the residents of Tatu City,” said Caroline Cheptoo, Water Infrastructure Manager at Tatu City.

“With 24/7 uninterrupted water supply, we are dedicated to continuous improvement and innovation, ensuring that we meet and exceed the expectations of our valued customers.”

The yearly rating of Water Service Providers (WSPs) by WASREB assesses compliance with a number of important performance factors.

Water coverage, drinking water quality, water supply hours, non-revenue water, metering ratio, employee productivity, and personnel costs are a few of these.

Other factors include the effectiveness of revenue collection, cost-covering for operations and maintenance, sewerage sanitation, and sanitation.
