Nairobi residents are in for a 48-hour water supply disruption starting Thursday morning. The Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company (NCWSC) has announced that it will shut down the Ngethu Water Treatment plant for two days to facilitate scheduled maintenance.
The shutdown, which will start on Thursday morning and end on Friday at 6pm, is meant to facilitate major repair works at the Mwagu Water Intake along Chania River. The intake was damaged by the recent heavy rainfall, according to NCWSC's Managing Director Eng. Nahashon Muguna.
Areas set to experience the interruption of water supply include Juja road, Outer-ring road, Thika road, Mombasa Road, Nairobi city centre, and Limuru road. Others are Kangundo road, Ruai, Kayole, Komarock, and Njiru.
NCWSC has assured residents of timely restoration of supply and urged them to use available water sparingly.
