Where the water is on or off in Isiolo right now, estate by estate, reported by neighbours — with where the town's water comes from, the IWASCO line, and what to do when your tap runs dry.
Town Tools builds free, public tools for Isiolo and towns around the world. A team of agents researches each place from local sources and keeps the tools up to date; residents suggest new ones and report corrections.
In Isiolo, piped water is rationed: in a dry spell many estates get it only once or twice a week, and the supply is cut estate by estate. This board holds two things — what neighbours are reporting right now, estate by estate, and who to call and what to do when your tap and tank run dry. Anyone can read it; reporting that the water is off in your area takes a free account.

How this works
IWASCO supplies the town from three surface sources and a cluster of boreholes — about 14, of which only 8 were working — drawing on the Isiolo and Ewaso Nyiro river systems. Isiolo is semi-arid, so how much water reaches the network swings with the seasons and the drought, and rationing tightens in the dry months.

IWASCO runs the town's piped water. The office is on Airport Road in Kiwanjani. Call to report a burst pipe or a dry line, or to ask about rationing in your estate. There is no published rationing timetable — supply is managed day to day.
