Residents in Nairobi's Central Business District and seven other estates are in for a water disruption from Thursday, July 15, 2021, to Friday, July 16, 2021, as the Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company carries out repairs.
The disruption is necessary to facilitate the interconnection of the relocated new and old water pipelines on Uhuru Highway between Haile Selassie Avenue and Bunyala Road junctions with Uhuru highway.
Areas affected by the water disruption include the whole of City Centre, areas along Mombasa Road, South B and South C areas, and several neighborhoods.
Other areas that will be affected include the University of Nairobi main campus, Coca Cola Factory, Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, EPZ - Athi River, and the whole of Industrial Area.
Residents are urged to use available water sparingly as the Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company works towards restoring the supply.
As of July 2021, the Nairobi Expressway was reported to be at 45% completion, with workers pulling night shifts to ensure the civil works are completed by the end of 2021.
