List of Nairobi estates to go without water from Wednesday to Thursday

In a notice issued on Monday, the Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company said there will be a shutdown of the water pipeline from Gigiri Reservoir to Karura Reservoir- Outer Ring Road on Wednesday, February 14 from 6am to Thursday, February 15 at 6am.

“This will facilitate the relocation of the water pipeline in conflict with the office construction site in the United Nation Offices at Gigiri,” reads the notice in part.

The shutdown will consequently interrupt water supply to the following areas: UN Complex, Ridgeways, Muthaiga North, Balozi, Garden Estate, Windsor, Mathare North, Garden City, GSU headquarters and East Africa Breweries (EABL), Ngumba and Babadogo estates  

Other areas that will also be affected include estates along Outering Road, Huruma. Umoja 1, Dandora area 1, Donholm, Tassia, Fedha, Nyayo Embakasi, Kware areas as well as parts of Pipeline Estate. 

“Whilst every effort will be made to restore the water supply after the completion of the shutdown, we request all customers in the affected areas to use their stored water sparingly during the period of interruption,” said the water company.
