Residents of Nairobi County are set to pay more for water. This is as the Athi Water Services Board (AWSB) moves to raise water tariffs, in a move likely to raise the cost of living for most city households.

According to a notice in the Kenya Gazette, the water services company seeks to introduce a new component in the water tariffs pricing to help raise money for infrastructure development and to improve service delivery.
