Metering & Billing

MUWASCO: Metering & Billing

In a two-step method called metering and billing, MUWASCO gives its clients a certain volume of water for a set price over a set period of time.

MUWASCO uses meter readings taken periodically over the course of a billing cycle for each region to calculate the amount of water that account holders use.

These readings determine the customer's monthly bill and help customers better understand their costs and water usage when used in conjunction with the per-unit rates outlined in the water-tariff guide.

Additionally, metering enables MUWASCO to educate customers, typically about water demand and pricing.

Our Commitment

We undertake to:

  • Guide our customers through the process of water connection
  • Provide quality and well calibrated water meters to all customers and to read them in a regular 30-days cycle
  • Deliver all customer bills by the 1st week of the month
  • Educate our customers on meter security, reading, billing, disconnection and reconnection processes
  • Service all stuck meters
  • Replace all faulty meters on a monthly basis
  • Enforce all applicable fines and penalties on willful damage to meters, bypasses, illegal connections and any other malpractices as stipulated in the tariff

Billing Corrections

In the event of wrong billing, debits/credits will be approved by the company as per the laid down policies. No billing complaints will be accepted after the expiry of 3 months from the date of billing.

Water Quality & Testing

MUWASCO: Water Quality & Testing

The quality of the water is one of the most important measures for assessing the level of service a client receives.

Water quality has an effect on both public health and the aesthetic appeal of water as a consumable.

MUWASCO Water ensures that the water is consistently tested for purity before it is provided to the consumers.

Water quality is continuously monitored by MUWASCO Water, which also reacts rapidly to any problems.

Quality Assurance

Our company's water quality has been determined to be within standards based on the various water quality tests conducted prior to distribution.

We maintain strict quality control measures to ensure that all water supplied meets or exceeds national and international standards for drinking water.

Testing Procedures

Regular Testing

Weekly and monthly testing of water samples from various points in the distribution system

Laboratory Analysis

Comprehensive chemical and biological analysis in certified laboratories

Safety Standards

Adherence to KEBS and WHO standards for drinking water quality

Rapid Response

Immediate action taken on any quality issues detected

Meter Testing & Servicing

MUWASCO: Meter Testing & Servicing

By applying industry standards, the most recent certified testing equipment, and a dedicated testing staff, MUWASCO can satisfy all of your water testing needs.

Utilities, other water authorities, and meter unit providers can perform unbiased studies of flow measurement thanks to our testing capabilities.

In our facilities, water meters may be tested in a range of operational conditions that are similar to those they would experience in use.

Meter servicing is provided without charge.

Testing Basis

A further basis for meter testing is claimed tampering-induced anomalous usage.

If your water meter has been faulty and unusable for a while, it might be time to fix it. Indeed, a malfunctioning water meter can lead to a variety of problems.

Common Issues

Your pipes either have a leak or something is blocking water from getting through them if the needle on your water meter isn't moving at all or is moving extremely slowly. This can be the result of both a broken pipe and a loose pipe connection.

Another situation is that the water provider would have to fix or replace the meter themselves. A water meter usually has to be repaired since it has been damaged for a long and stopped working.

Our Meter Services Include:

Regular Calibration

Ensuring meters maintain accurate measurement

Maintenance

Preventive maintenance to extend meter lifespan

Replacement

Timely replacement of faulty or outdated meters

Technical Support

Expert assistance for meter-related issues
