The Coast Water Service Board (CWSB) has disconnected water supply to five counties over arrears. The board said it will not reconnect water to Mombasa, Kwale and Taita Taveta counties until they pay their December bills.
The board disconnected supply on January 22 over Sh1.3 billion in arrears accrued since July 1, 2013 but reconnected Kilifi County yesterday after it paid its December 2015 bill of Sh22 million and agreed to pay some Sh344 million in installments. Lamu and Tana River counties do not receive water from CSWB.
