NAIROBI, Kenya – The Coast Water Works Development Agency (CWWDA) has announced an international call for the prequalification of contractors for two critical components of the Mwache Water Project, a major initiative to boost access to clean and reliable water in Kenya’s Coast region.
According to a public notice, the move aligns with CWWDA’s mission to enhance sustainable water infrastructure and service delivery.
The project is financed through a loan secured from the European Investment Bank (EIB).
The agency is inviting bids for two major contracts;Lot 2: Construction of the Mwache Trunk Main (Section 2), transmission pipelines, and storage reservoirs in West Mainland and Changamwe.
Lot 3: Development of the North Mainland Transmission Main and the Nguu Tatu Storage Reservoir.
“These works are set to significantly upgrade water supply systems across the region, providing safe and reliable water to thousands of residents,” the notice stated.
Lot 2 involves laying over 27 kilometers of steel or ductile iron pipelines (DN 400–DN 1200), building new reinforced concrete reservoirs, and installing an advanced SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system for real-time monitoring and control.
Lot 3 includes the construction of a 21.8-kilometer DN 800 pipeline to the new Nguu Tatu Reservoir, rehabilitation of existing storage facilities, a new chlorination unit, and an administration block.
The contracts are scheduled to run from July 2026 to July 2029.
