Water bowsers and tankers supplying water to Nairobi residents will now be required to undergo inspection before commencing operation at the Wilson Airport water reservoir in South C, off five-star road. Through a notice issued in one of the dailies on Wednesday, Nairobi Water Managing Director Nahashon Muguna stated the inspection kicked off on June 17, 2020, until July 2, 2020. The objective of this registration is to ensure that consumers of the water distributed by water bowsers are of consumable quality. All water bowsers/tankers shall also have a 600mm circular lockable inspection chamber and the tanker’s body should be devoid of rust. The regulations will also apply to exhausters, gated community water providers, private boreholes owners engaging in community water supply and Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) water projects.
