The water outage will begin on Tuesday morning from 6 am to midnight.

The Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company have announced scheduled water outages in some areas in Nairobi on Tuesday.

This follows the scheduled partial shutdown of the Ngethu Water Treatment Plant from 6 am to midnight.

The close of the plant is to enable repair of a major water leak on one of the two raw water pipelines from Chania river- Matara tunnel outfall Ngethu water treatment plant.
