You would need to apply to the Kajiado Water and Sewerage Company Ltd, which is a new company and an amalgamation of several smaller companies from June 2018.聽 As far as cost is concerned, it depends upon factors such as where the nearest water main is located.聽 Costs of water, connections etc vary widely across the country.聽 Water usage is measured with a water meter.

Sorry to mention, but make sure that all you have the correct documentaion to live and work in Kenya, as this is a VERY hot topic at the moment.聽 Permits are being scrutinised and foreigners ARE being sent home!

If you are operating your own business and working within it, you should have applied for a Class G Permit.聽 See link below:
