How borehole water hurts your health

 High demand for boreholes has also been recorded in Kiambu and Machakos counties, and adjacent urban areas of high volcanic soils, such as Kajiado, Ngong, Athi River, Kitengela, Ongata Rongai and Kitui. [Christopher Kipsang, Standard]

Frustrated by poor public water supply, many Kenyans are increasingly drinking from salty boreholes.

Today, a borehole on site is a must-have for property buyers or renters in the country’s growing urban centres.

“You pay more for a flat connected to a borehole, but at least it assures you of constant water supply,” says Joseph Muteru of Tassia in Embakasi, Nairobi.
