The Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company (NCWSC) in a notice published in the local dailies listed a number of estates that will go without water from Thursday, 3 February 2022, at 6:00am and last till Friday, 4 February 2022, at 6:00pm.
According to NCWSC, this comes as a result of the shut down of a water supply pipeline due to the ongoing construction of the Nairobi expressway with estates among Waiyaki Way the most affected.
“The shutdown will facilitate interconnection of relocated pipeline to the old pipeline along Waiyaki Way Road from Old Safaricom Building to the junction of Waiyaki Way Road and Wangari Mathai Road starting from 6:00 a.m. on Thursday, February 3, 2022, to Friday, February 4, 2022, at 6:00 p.m.,” part of the notice read.
The areas that will be affected include; MP Shah Hospital, Sarit Centre, and surrounding estates along Waiyaki Way, Rhapta Road, Parklands Road, Mpaka Road, Chiromo Lane, Manyani and Church Roads.
Others are Highridge and Westlands areas, Muguga Green Estate, Nairobi School, and Kabete Barracks.
NCWSC appealed to their customers for indulgence and urged them to use available water sparingly before normal services resume.
“We appeal to our customers for indulgence and also urge them to use available water sparingly as we work towards restoring the supply,” said NCWSC Managing Director Engineer Nahashon Muguna.
Last year alone, city residents have had to endure at least seven water supply interruptions by the urban water utility firm in February, May, June, July, September and December – all due to infrastructural upgrades.
