Some residents in Nairobi’s informal settlements have raised concerns over the lack of water. Speaking to Citizen Digital, locals expressed fear of an impending crisis due to the inconsistent supply of this essential resource.

“We have to walk for kilometers to fetch water as we need clean water for our households,” one resident explained.

In Mathare, residents called on the county administration to address the ongoing issue, especially as water prices continue to surge.

“Water used to cost us just 5 shillings, but now it has skyrocketed to at least 40 shillings for a 20-litre jerrycan,” said Michael Karanja.

These concerns come as the Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company (NCWSC) announced a disruption in water supply, affecting up to 70 estates and the Nairobi Central Business District (CBD). The disruption is part of efforts to connect the Kigoro-Gigiri water pipeline to the Gigiri Pumping Station and Reservoirs.

In response, Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja stated that residents will soon receive an additional 140 million liters of water once the Northern Collector Tunnel is commissioned. He assured that his administration is working to resolve the persistent water shortages in the capital.
