Nairobi — The Nairobi County Government has completed a 5.8 cubic metres borehole project at New Eastleigh Primary School.

Speaking during the site visit today when he met with the project engineers, County Director for Water and Sanitation Mr. Mario Kainga said that the project is complete and awaits official commissioning.

Mr Mario encouraged the school head teacher to take advantage of the water and plant more indigenous trees in the compound for sustainability of the borehole. He also assured the school of the water safety, which he said has been tested for floride levels.

The school head teacher, Mr. Tala Hassan said the county has solved a very big problem with water, which the school has experienced for a very long time.
