Turkana County has completed a new phase of its piped water expansion program, extending access to several wards that previously relied primarily on trucked water and shallow wells.
The project, funded through a combination of county development funds and donor partnerships, is part of a broader effort to address water access gaps that have long affected Kenya's arid and semi-arid counties.
Scale of the Rollout
- Over 40 kilometers of new piping laid in the current phase
- Several new solar-powered boreholes commissioned
- Community water management committees trained to maintain new infrastructure
County officials say future phases will focus on connecting remaining underserved wards, though funding timelines for subsequent phases have not yet been finalized.
