The Kenya Electricity Generating Company PLC (KenGen) has issued a public safety advisory warning communities living along the Seven Forks Cascade and downstream along the Tana River over rising water levels and a possible overflow.

In a statement on Saturday, KenGen said sustained high inflows from ongoing rainfall in the Mount Kenya and Aberdare Range catchments, as well as direct rainfall over reservoir areas, have led to increased water levels across the cascade.

The power producer noted that Masinga Dam is expected to reach full supply level, while Kiambere Dam remains elevated and under close monitoring.
