A section of Eldoret residents have threatened to paralyse business if a controversial tariff that pushed up water bills by 300 per cent is not revoked before September 30, 2025.

On Wednesday, the residents told the Eldoret Water and Sanitation Company (Eldowas) that they will use any means possible to stop the implementation of what they termed a punitive tariff that will drive away investors.
