The county has said through the KfW Development Bank funded Kisii Water Supply and Sanitation Development Program, the sewerage system in Kisii Town is being rehabilitated and expanded.

The wastewater treatment at Suneka is also being remodeled to increase its capacity to effectively process 4,000 cubic meters of wastewater per day from the current 2,000 cubic meters.

The existing sewerage system covers approximately 16.7km but very few plots are connected.

As part of the expansion, plot connectivity will be increased to 100 percent so that all individual households, institutions and government offices are covered.
