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. WASREB hereby gives a one-month notice from the date of this communication to all existing and potential customers of GAWASCO that the structure of approved tariffs for water services for the four financial years 2025/2026, 2026/2027, 2027/2028 and 2028/2029 shall be as follows: 1.0 Approved Tariff Structure 1.1 Water Tariff Structure for the period 2025/2026 to 2028/2029 Consumer Categories Consumption Block (m3) Approved Tariff (KSh./m3) Domestic/Residential 1-6 80 7-20 120 21-50 135 51-100 160 101-300 180 >300 220 Multi-Dwelling Units Per M3 120 Commercial/Industrial 1-50 135 51-100 160 101-300 180 >300 220 Government/Institutions 1-50 135 51-100 160 101-300 180 >300 220 Public Schools, Colleges, and Universities 1-600 110 601-1200 120 >1200m3 130 Unique Consumer Categories Per M3 50 Customers with non-functional meters shall be billed based on the average of the last three months’ bills. 1.2 Sewerage Tariff Structure for the period 2025/2026 to 2028/2029.
