“Whilst every effort will be made to restore the water supply after the completion of the shutdown, we request all customers in the affected areas to use their stored water sparingly during the period of interruption."

Several Nairobi Estates are set to experience water supply interruptions beginning Wednesday February 14, 2024.

Nairobi City Water in a notice said the shutdown of the water pipeline from Gigiri Reservoir to Karura Reservoir-Outer Ring Road will interrupt water supply between Wednesday 6.00 am and Thursday, 15 February 2024, 6.00 am.

The water company noted that the interruption will pave the way for the relocation of the water pipeline in conflict with the office construction site in the United Nations Offices at Gigiri.

“The Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company would like to inform its esteemed customers that there will be a shutdown of the water pipeline from Gigiri Reservoir to Karura Reservoir-Outer Ring Road on Wednesday, 14 February 2024 from 6.00am to Thursday, 15 February 2024, 6.00am,” read the notice in part.
