💰 SHOCKING DISCOVERY: Borehole water costs 95% less than county water in 2025 – KSh 2.85 million savings over 10 years!
The KSh 25,000 Monthly Bill That Opened My Eyes
David Kamau stared at his January 2025 water bill in disbelief: KSh 25,000 for just one month. His family of six in Kiambu had used 25,000 liters – nothing excessive, just normal household consumption including a small kitchen garden.
“This is unsustainable,” David told his wife. “We’re spending more on water than rent!”
That’s when David decided to investigate something his neighbor had mentioned: drilling a borehole. What he discovered would change everything.
Six months later, David’s water costs had dropped to KSh 125 monthly (just electricity for the pump). His borehole was producing clean, unlimited water at a fraction of county water costs.
David’s annual savings: KSh 297,000
But David’s story is just the beginning. Across Kenya in 2025, families are discovering that county water – once affordable – has become a luxury many can’t afford.
