The Malindi Water and Sewerage Company (MAWASCO) loses 40 per cent of its water supply to illegal connections each month, exacerbating the shortage of this essential commodity in Kilifi County.

MAWASCO Managing Director Felix Wanje announced yesterday the formation of a special investigation and enforcement team to address the issue.
