Why must you use water efficiently?
It reduces your water bill
- It reduces the cost of water purification and maintenance costs.
- It makes water available for our increasing population so that EWASCO and the Embu County government can supply water to others who might not have a reliable water supply
- Ensuring a continuous uninterrupted supply of water in the future
