Occupants of State House including President Uhuru Kenyatta are set to go without water supply for a day following a directive from the Nairobi City Water.
The water supply disruption will affect the State House and other city estates due to the shutdown of water pumps at Uthiru and Dagoretti to facilitate an upgrade.
The upgrade of the pumping stations situated at Kabete Water Works will see the two water pumps improved to pump additional 25,000 cubic metres of water to Karen, Riruta, Satellite, Kawangware, and Uthiru areas among others.
The shutdown will see water supply to areas served by the two pumps go without water between Wednesday, February 3, 2021, and Thursday, February 4, 2021.
Areas set to be affected by the water supply interruption include Riruta, Kawangware, Dagoretti Corner, and Ngando; all along Naivasha Road.
