A fact from Water supply and sanitation in Kenya appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 3 May 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that on average, Kenyan water utilities provide 14 hours of service each day, supplying water for 16 hours in Nairobi and for 6 hours in Mombasa?

I would like to acknowledge that this article, as it stands today, is the product of a collaborative effort between Ukowalska, primary author (see her sandbox), Amusiol who wrote the sections on water resources and external cooperation, as well as myself (lead section and quality review). In consent with the co-authors I posted the article from the sandbox to the article space. Obviously this does not entail any claims as to the authorship of the article. We expect to draw attention to the article by circulating links to it to professionals working on water and sanitation in Kenya, in order to further improve the article.--Mschiffler (talk) 19:23, 23 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi there! I just read the article and made some minor edits. It is very interesting and up to date. Congratulations!
However I think that some details could still be improved:
Access: "Estimates for 2008 indicate that 31% (27% of urban and 32% of rural) Kenyans had access to private improved sanitation."
What do you mean with "private improved sanitation"?
Water quality: "on average about 78% of the water supplied for drinking use was tested in 2006-2007."
This sounds to me as if within the 78% every drop of drinking water is tested before being supplied. What do you mean exactly?
Economic efficiency: It would be interesting to know if Kenya performs well compared to its neighbors and benchmarks for developing countries.
