Nairobi: Water supply interruption notice affecting Gigiri- Karura- Outer Ring Road

The Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company has released a notice announcing that there will be a shutdown of the water pipeline from Gigiri Reservoir to Karura Reservoir to Outer Ring Road; beginning February 14 from 6 am to 6 am on February 15.

The water supply interruption will pave way for the relocation of the water pipeline, which conflicts with an office construction site at the United Nations (UN) offices in Gigiri.

Areas that will be affected by the shutdown include the UN Complex, Ridgeways, Muthaiga North, Balozi, Garden Estate, Windsor, Mathare North, Garden City, GSU headquarters, East Africa Breweries (EABL), Ngumba and Babadogo.

Others are estates along Outer Ring Road including: Huruma, Umoja 1, Dandora area 1, Donholm, Tassia, Fedha, Nyayo Embakasi, Kware areas and parts of Pipeline estate.

Nairobi Water has urged all residents in the affected areas to use water sparingly as they work to restore the water supply.

“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," states the notice.
