THE WATER ACT
(No. 43 of 2016)
APPROVAL
under the powers granted by section 72 (1) (b) and (2) of the Water Act, 2016, has approved the regular tariff adjustment for the area served by Garissa Water and Sewerage Company Limited (GAWASCO).
Garissa Water and Sewerage Company Limited (GAWASCO) applied to the Water Services Regulatory Board (WASREB) for review of water services tariffs, for the period 2025/2026 to 2028/2029 as per section 72 (1) b of the Water Act 2016.
Public consultation on the GAWASCO application was carried out in accordance with the requirements of section 139 of the Water Act 2016.
Having considered the application, the written and oral submissions by all stakeholders and the current data, WASREB has determined that an upward tariff review is justified for GAWASCO to improve service delivery, operate sustainably and protect consumer interests by meeting the tariff conditions attached to the tariff.
