WASREB uses a robust Performance Indicator System to evaluate and rank utilities across the country.

Through nine Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), WASREB assesses utilities on water coverage, quality, economic efficiency, and sustainability. This helps utilities not only meet required standards but also constantly improve their services to the public. The Traffic Light System used by WASREB helps utilities know where they stand:

🟢 Green – The Water Service Provider is performing well and meeting performance expectations.
🟡 Yellow – The Water Service Provider is performing fairly well but has areas that require improvement.
🔴 Red – The Water Service Provider is underperforming and requires significant improvement to meet the expected standards.

This evaluation system isn’t just a ranking—it's an ongoing effort to ensure that every Kenyan, regardless of location, can access high-quality water services. By fostering transparency, accountability, and a spirit of continuous improvement, we’re moving closer to the goal of universal access to safe and reliable water.
