Nyeri Water and Sanitation Company has defended itself over claims of oppressive water tariffs. The company’s acting managing director Peter Kahuthu on Friday said the claims were as a result of misrepresentation of the water tariff review. Kahuthu said Nyewasco only revised its water tariffs upwards for commercial and government institutions. Initially, Nyewasco had been charging 100 per cent of water consumed to sewerage but with the new tariffs, the company is now charging for sewerage at 75 per cent of water used. Nyewasco has been rated as the best water services provider in Kenya for ten consecutive years.
