A portion of Nairobi residents are expected to face a shortage of water between Wednesday and Thursday this week.

Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company issued a warning on Monday stating that the water pipeline from Gigiri Reservoir to Karura Reservoir-Outer Ring Road will be shut down from Wednesday, February 14 at 6 a.m. to Thursday, February 15 at 6 a.m.

“This will facilitate the relocation of the water pipeline in conflict with the office construction site in the United Nation Offices at Gigiri,” reads the notice in part.

The suspension would disrupt water service to the following areas: UN Complex, Ridgeways, Muthaiga North, Balozi, Garden Estate, Windsor, Mathare North, Garden City, GSU headquarters and East Africa Breweries (EABL), Ngumba and Babadogo estates.

Estates on Outering Road in Huruma will also be affected. Umoja 1, Dandora area 1, Donholm, Tassia, Fedha, Nyayo Embakasi, Kware neighborhoods, and portions of Pipeline Estate.

“Whilst every effort will be made to restore the water supply after the completion of the shutdown, we request all customers in the affected areas to use their stored water sparingly during the period of interruption,” said the water company.
