Nairobi Water Tariffs for Different Consumer Categories

by | Jun 9, 2021 | TECH | 0 comments

The  Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company (NCWSC), fully owned by the county government of Nairobi is responsible for providing and managing water and sewerage services in Nairobi county. Nairobi Water revised their tariffs from 2015 upwards with some categories of consumers seeing their water bills doubling.

In the current Nairobi Water tariffs, domestic and industrial consumers, and government institutions pay a fixed flat rate of Sh. 204 for units between 0 and 6 cubic metres.

Units of water above 6 and between the range 7 to 60 for domestic consumers will attract levies of Sh. 53 per cubic metre consumed.

To calculate your water consumption bill, first you need to know that a cubic metre of water is equivalent to 1000 litres.

So, in the category of domestic consumers, if you consume 10 cubic metres of water (10,000 Litres) you will pay sh. 204 + (4 x 53) which equates to sh. 416.

Nairobi Water tariffs vary depending on categories of consumers.
