La société

How often do you use water from a tap? Easy, right?


Nearly 1 billion people are not as fortunate and struggle daily to get water.

CityTaps' vision is running water in every urban home. We achieve this goal through technology and services targeted at water utilities.

Our IoT and Pay-as-you-go solutions break down barriers that prevent people from having running water at home.

We help water utilities improve their services to the urban poor by:

  • building trust on both sides

  • providing a better and more efficient service

  • saving time and money for households and improving their health

  • providing a simple, flexible and convenient way for clients to make micro payments directly from their phones


We currently operate in Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and Asia.


CityTaps’ services are built on an IoT stack, including a prepaid and connected smart water meter, a Cloud platform to run the service, and connections to payment platforms and water utilities’ information systems.


We are a multicultural company and value diversity. Based in France and Kenya, we currently have a team of 15 people and 6 nationalities. We work mostly in English, both remotely and at the office in a very flexible way. Our HQ is in Paris.


Our innovative solutions have already brought reliable water access to thousands of households, significantly improving their quality of life.
