The Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company has issued a notice of service interruptions across the city due to a leak in one of its water lines. The utility company announced plans to conduct corrective measures to address the leak, resulting in the temporary suspension of water supply. The interruptions are scheduled to begin at 10 pm on Thursday, March 7, and last until 3 am on March 8, 2024.
The leak was identified on the pipeline from Ng’ethu Treatment Works to Gigiri Pumping Station, specifically at a location called Raiyani near Thuita/Kibichoi.

Only certain areas within the city, such as the Central Business District (CBD) and Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), will be exempt from the service interruptions.
It is important for residents to remain calm during this time as the utility company works diligently to repair the leak and restore the water supply. The urgency of the repairs is emphasized to maintain the integrity of the water pipeline serving the city, necessitating the temporary shutdown of the supply for five hours.
