This comes a month after the Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company (NCWSC) announced that several estates in Nairobi County would experience water supply interruptions due to technical challenges.
In a notice on Sunday, August 17, NCWSC said the technical hitches occurred along the Kabete–Kibera–Lang’ata water supply pipeline.
“Dear Valued Customers, due to technical challenges along the Kabete – Kibera – Lang’ata water supply pipeline, water distribution is currently affected in the following areas,” read part of the notice.
The affected areas included Lang’ata, Kibera, Kilimani, Lavington, Westlands, Parklands, Riverside, Kileleshwa, University of Nairobi (UoN) main campus residents, and Chiromo campus.
Nairobi Water noted that it had deployed its technical staff to resolve the issue, urging residents of the affected estates to use water sparingly.
Further, NCWSC announced it had dispatched its water tankers to the affected estates for residents to get water.
“We advise our customers to use their stored water sparingly. In the meantime, we have dispatched our water tankers to the affected estates for residents to draw water free of charge. We humbly request patience as we work to resolve the water supply failure,” NCWSC added.
