[Edward Kosut, Standard]It is 6am in Kapsabet Town, Nandi County, and traders are unpacking vegetables from the lorries in the market’s main entrance. Kapsabet Hotel Manager Ernest Mandu said to avert regular water shortage, they have installed water tanks to sustain operations. Kapsabet Nandi Water and Sanitation Company Manager Anthony Kiboiy said there is insufficient water supply for all the town residents.“The current water system can only supply 70,000 cubic meters per month, which translates to 3,000 cubic meters per day. Kapsabet Municipality Manager David Sum said lack of a dumpsite is a major challenge and they have been forced to deposit the waste at the Kapsabet Hospital cemetery.
