dutch trade mission on Water visited the Valley view estate
The Board of Valley View Housing Association welcomed the trade mission from the Netherlands.
Roughly 50 representatives from Dutch companies and NGO visited Valley View to see with their own eyes how you can transform access to drinking water on a sustainable commercial basis. Hydrax invested in the borehole, the water purification and smart meters facilitating the supply of drinking water to more than 400 homes.
It didn’t just provide water, it made the real estate more valuable. It took away the need to swap shower heads every month.

Mavoko residents hire foreigner contractor to solve six- year water problem
Residents of Valley View estate in Mavoko, Machakos county have engaged a foreign contractor to solve the water problem they have faced for six years.
More than 2,000 residents through their association, Valley View Residents Association, said they resorted to contract the Netherlands based firm trading as Hydrax Water Consultants after their pleas with relevant authorities to have the water problem sorted landed on deaf years.
The estate has lacked water for the last six years after they were disconnected to the important commodity’s main line. The association’s vice chairperson Kennedy Karisa said they made the move after the residents approved a proposal to bring in an expert in water industry to have the problem solved once and for all.
