Civil infrastructure work on the multimillion-shilling regional reservoir project hits crucial final construction phases in West Pokot.

Work on the regional water storage project in West Pokot County has reached its final phases, with current site evaluations indicating overall progress has surpassed the 90 percent mark.

The project is under oversight from the National Water Harvesting and Storage Authority (NWHSA).

Initial earthworks and structural foundation activities laid the groundwork for the major concrete installations visible today.

Engineers on site have completed key structural elements of the intake and retaining structures. Field staff are now shifting focus toward finalizing auxiliary piping networks and terminal water treatment works.

Community expectations remain focused on the long-term operational capabilities of the infrastructure.

Regional leadership anticipates the project will deliver reliable bulk water distribution across Kapenguria Municipality and adjacent rural settlements upon final commissioning.

Civil engineering teams continue site testing across primary supply pipelines to verify hydraulic pressure limits.

Formal operational handovers will proceed once technical inspections confirm all structural components meet national design specifications.
