Kisumu residents have been asked to prepare for a two day interruption of water supply.

Kajulu Plant is one of the two water treatment points, with the other one being Dunga Treatment Plant.
Kajulu supplies the biggest area, with over 60 per cent of the entire water Kiwasco supplies in Kisumu.
The plant which draws water from River Kibos is cheaper as it uses gravity to supply the commodity, as opposed to Dunga which is pumped using electricity.
