Kenya’s Vision 2030 recognizes that Kenya is a water scarce country and therefore emphasizes water conservation and the prudent use of for the limits available potable water. The National Water Resources Strategy and the National Water Services Strategy aim at ensuring that water resources are conserved and maintained and Non-Revenue Water (NRW) at water supply and sanitation systems is reduced to acceptable levels.
The NRW reduction management standards consisting of a manual, guidelines and handbook are meant to provide a practical approach to reduction of NRW in Kenya.
A Service Provision Agreement (SPA) is a contract between a Water Works Development Agency (WWDA) and a Water Service Provider (WSP), to provide water services in a particular area. The agreement is governed by the principal -agent relationship. This means the agent (WSP) has no power other than that given by the Principal (WWDA).

A Code of Ethics is a definition of the guiding ethical principles which are considered essential in providing guidance and direction in the manner in which members of the Board of Directors are expected to conduct themselves when handling matters relating to the Company.
Code of Ethics
Wasreb’s statutory mandate is provided for under Section 72 of the Water Act 2016. The regulator sets, monitors and reviews rules and regulations to ensure water services provision is affordable, efficient, effective, and equitable. Ensuring compliance with the Water Act 2016 and enforcing the law is one of Wasreb’s key objectives in the Strategic Plan.
Enforcement Strategy
Pursuant to Section 72 of the Water Act 2016 which requires Wasreb to set license conditions and accredit water services providers, the Board’s objective is to promote commercial sustainability of the Water Works Development Agencies (WWDAs)and WSPs.
WSP Appointment Criteria
The Kenya Water Supply and Sanitation (WSS) sector has been on a long path of facilitating commercial lending to Water Service Providers (WSPs). A key component of this effort is the evolution of rating the credit risk of WSPs for local lenders. Wasreb and the Water and Sanitation Program of the World Bank have created a WSPs Creditworthiness Index and designed Toolkits for WSPs, County Governments and Lenders to facilitate access to commercial lending and financing of the water and sanitation sector in Kenya.
