Mukuru has deplorable water and sanitation conditions with only 3,863 pit latrines serving 100,561 families. This dire lack of services prompted NCCG to commence an integrated planning process aimed at improving living conditions by providing necessary infrastructure and services. The planning process for this sector is now complete and detailed water and sanitation infrastructure designs have been developed and approved by the county. One of the short-term objectives of the plan is to provide piped water and water-borne sanitation to every plot (every ten households) and a prepaid dispenser for every 100 households.
