Parts of Mombasa County will experience temporary water supply disruptions following a scheduled shutdown of a transmission line.
In a notice shared on Wednesday, March 25, the Mombasa Water Supply and Sanitation Company (MOWASSCO) said the disruption will affect areas within the West Mainland region due to ongoing repair works.
The company explained that the interruption will affect Magongo, Wayani, National Housing, Chaani, Kenya Pipeline Company, Kenya Petroleum Refineries Limited, KenGen and Changamwe.
“We would like to inform our esteemed customers in West Mainland region, including Magongo, Wayani, National Housing, Chaani, Kenya Pipeline Company, Kenya Petroleum Refineries Limited, KenGen and Changamwe; that our scheduled water supply will be interrupted due to a temporary closure of the main transmission pipeline to these areas- the Mzima southern line,” the notice read.
The company explained that the shutdown has been necessitated by a pipe burst that requires urgent repair.
“The closure is to facilitate repair works of a pipe burst within Awale Transporters Limited, being undertaken by our technical team,” the notice added.
Mombasa Water appealed to customers to remain patient as the repairs are carried out, assuring them that normal supply will resume immediately after the works are completed.
