The Kapingazi River Basin in Kenya is home to a range of ecosystem services. Agricultural and industrial activities have negatively impacted water quality and flows. This study assesses the willingness to pay for improving water service provision. Two-thirds of the respondents are willing to pay for improved water quality and quantity. The respondents were willing to pay an average of US$9.10 per annum for improved water services, not counting water connection fees. Logistic regression analysis revealed that age, education and household size were factors influencing respondents’ willingness to pay.
