On Tuesday, Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company (NCWSC) said that some parts of Nairobi city will continue experiencing water shortage after 600 metres of the main pipeline that supplies water from Sasumua dam to Nairobi was damaged again on Monday night.
It's been almost a month since the closed down its main water treatment plant at Sasumua and Ng'ethu dams interrupting water supply to Nairobi residents.
This will lead to resumption of water supply to the City from Sasumua Dam before permanent works are completed," Managing Director, Nahashon Muguna said in the statement.
According to the water firm, areas along Waiyaki Way, Naivasha road, Kangemi, Lavington, Westlands, Parklands, M.P. Shah Hospital, Aga Khan Hospital and ILRI are some of the estates that will be affected by the damage on the Sasumua water supply system.
"The amount of water not reaching Nairobi is 61,000m3 per day (12 per cent of the city supply) hence the above areas will receive water with low pressure during the supply day under the water rationing programme," read the statement.
