Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company (NCWSC) has announced a major supply interruption, affecting nearly all estates.

In a public notice on Thursday, March 7, 2024, NCWSC Managing Director Nahason Njuguna attributed the water shutdown to a leak on the pipeline from Ng’ethu Treatment Works to Gigid Pumping Station.

The company is expected to shut down the pipeline for five hours on Thursday night, from 10:00 pm to 3:00 am on March 8, 2024, to allow engineers undertake repairs.

“The Nairobi City Water & Sewerage Company Ltd wishes to inform its esteemed customers of water supply interruption to the City of Nairobi from 10:00 pm today 7 March, 2024 to 3:00am on 8 March 2024.

“The supply interruption is due to a leak on the pipeline from Ng’ethu Treatment Works to Gigid Pumping Station. The leak is at a place called Raiyani, close to Thuita/Kibichoi,” the notice read in part.

The water shutdown will affect the entire city except the Nairobi Central Business District (CBD) and the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).

“The work to undertake the repairs is urgent to avoid undermining the integrity of the water pipeline that serves the City and therefore necessitates shutting down the supply for five (5) hours,” the company explained.

Last month, the company was also forced to shut down water supply in key estates in the capital city to facilitate the relocation of a water pipeline in conflict with the office construction site in the United Nations (UN) offices at Gigiri.

The exercise interrupted the supply of water to UN Complex, Ridgeways, Muthaiga North, Balozi, Garden Estate, Windsor, Mathare North, Garden City, GSU headquarters, East Africa Breweries (EABL), Ngumba, and Babadogo estates.

Several other estates along Outering Road were affected including Huruma, Umoja 1, Dandora area 1, Donholm, Tassia, Fedha, Nyayo Embakasi, Kware areas, and parts of Pipeline Estate.

The Nairobi Water company is charged with the main mandate of providing and managing water and sewerage services in the city.
