A new report reveals that nearly half of all treated water produced in Kenya is lost before reaching consumers, highlighting significant financial and infrastructure problems in the water sector.

• 48% of treated water is lost, far exceeding the global benchmark of 20%.
• The Water and Sanitation Providers Association (WASPA) is among the organizations addressing this issue.
• Losses are attributed to factors like leaking pipes, illegal connections, faulty meters, and operational inefficiencies, costing water providers billions of shillings annually.
