Nairobi Water Company Reveals Two Areas That Will Experience Water Shortage For 7 Days

The Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company has announced a scheduled water rationing for Kibera and Lang'ata Areas.

A statement by the company on Friday said the rationing will last for 7 days to allow them to secure the Kabete-Lang'ata main pipeline from illegal connections.

"During this period, we have to disconnect unauthorised connections serving the Kibera residents. We endeavour to complete all works by August 18, 2023."

The company said on Friday it directed water to all directions in Kibera to ensure adequate availability and for residents to store for future use.

The company said it has deployed four tankers to give free water for the next seven days until Friday when normal water supply is expected to have stabilised.

Nairobi Water said they will supply water using a distribution schedule on diverse dates between 6am and 6pm.

Lindi and Laini Saba wards will receive water from Thursday 8am to Friday 6pm.

Ngong road to Kabarnet Gardens road through Kibra subcounty administration to Makina, the railway bridge area and Lindi area will receive from Wednesday 8am to Friday 8am.

Ngong Forest to Lang'ata estate women prisons area, Kibra and all estates in Lang'ata Mugumoini ward will be supplied water from Sunday 2pm to Tuesday 6am, and then again from Wednesday 6am to Thursday 6am and from Friday 6pm to Saturday 6am.

Sarango'mbe ward and adjacent areas will receive water from Tuesday 6am to Wednesday 6am; Thursday 6am to 6pm and Saturday 6am to Sunday 12 noon.

"We urge our customers to use available water sparingly as we work towards restoring the supply," the company said.
