How to pay your Marsabit water bill

  1. 1

    Get your account number

    The MAWASSCO account number is printed on your monthly water bill. It is usually 6 to 10 digits. If you have lost the bill, call the utility office or visit the customer-care desk with your national ID.

  2. 2

    Open Lipa na M-PESA, Pay Bill

    On your phone: M-PESA app or *334# or *144#, choose Lipa na M-PESA, then Pay Bill.

  3. 3

    Enter paybill: shown on your bill

    The paybill is on your latest MAWASSCO bill. Do not use paybills shared via WhatsApp; they are commonly scam variants.

  4. 4

    Enter account number, amount, PIN, Confirm

    Read the recipient name before tapping send. It must read MAWASSCO or a close variant. If it shows any other name, cancel; you are about to pay a scam paybill.

  5. 5

    Keep the M-PESA SMS

    The 10-character transaction code (e.g. TFB2NXY7P9) is your receipt. Keep it for at least 90 days in case the payment does not reflect or you need to escalate.

Bank app alternatives

Most major bank apps include a Pay Utility Bill flow that handles MAWASSCO. The flow is usually faster than M-PESA paybill (bank-to-bank settlement) and avoids the M-PESA paybill tariff.

  • Equity Eazzy. Open the app, Pay, Utilities, search for MAWASSCO or your county water company, enter account, pay.
  • KCB. KCB Mobile app, Pay Bills, search by utility name, enter account, pay.
  • Co-op MCo-op Cash. *667# or app, Pay Bill, choose Water, search by utility name.
  • Bank-issued cheque. Less common but accepted by most utilities. Drop at the customer service desk during office hours.

When things break

  • Payment not reflecting after 60 minutes. Confirm the M-PESA SMS recipient name. If correct, contact MAWASSCO support with the transaction code and account number. Reconciliation typically completes within 24 to 48 hours.
  • Wrong account number used. The funds credited the wrong customer. The utility can manually re-allocate if you visit with both the M-PESA SMS and a copy of your bill showing the correct account number. Allow 5 to 10 working days.
  • Bill amount seems wrong. Take a meter reading photo and visit the utility office. WASREB (water-sector regulator) accepts complaints if the utility does not resolve within 14 days; file at wasreb.go.ke.
