MAJOR 24-Hour Water Outage Announced For 14 Nairobi Estates
The Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company (NCWSC) has declared a major water supply interruption that will leave 14 Nairobi estates dry for nearly 24 hours due to a pipeline leak.

Other estates expected to experience the outage include Madaraka, Langata, Kibera, Karen, Uthiru and Kangemi.
Kawangware residents have also been listed among those who should brace for the temporary interruption.
The disruption will further extend to areas served by MAVWASCO and Oloolaiser Water Company, widening the scope of the outage beyond Nairobi alone.

For many households and businesses, the timing means planning around the unavailability of water for cooking, cleaning and general use.
Commercial establishments within the affected zones may also need to make alternative arrangements to keep operations running smoothly.
The company has further assured residents that normal supply will resume once repair works on the affected pipeline are completed.
This is the second time Nairobi Water is announcing a water disruption encompassing a notable number of estates, with the last disruption affecting 15 estates within the city on March 15, largely attributed to floods.
At the time, the company indicated that several key pipelines affected by the floods include the Outering Road pipeline at the Nairobi River crossing, the Eastleigh–Kiambiu pipeline, the Korogocho–Dandora pipeline, and the Brookeside Drive distribution line.
