This means that 46 per cent percent of water in the County is not bringing revenue according to the officials estimate. Mwarua said some of the illegal connections are carried out by the staffs who know where to set a by –pass at a cheaper fee. At the same time, he called up the community to give out information on whoever they suspect to be stealing water. Speaking at Mr Donald Mcewan's homestead at Seahorse in Kilifi's old ferry area, KIMAWASCO area manager Virginia Nyambura said they got a tip off from members of the public.
