The Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company is set to upgrade its pumping stations in Uthiru and Dagoreti, a move that will leave residents of several city estates without piped water for at least a day.
The upgrade of the pumping stations at Kabete will see the two pumps improved to provide additional 25,000 cubic metres of water to Karen, Riruta, Satellite, Kawangware and Uthiru areas among others.
The shutdown will see the areas served by the two pumps go without water tomorrow and Thursday. Estates to be affected by the water supply interruption include Riruta, Kawangware, Dagoretti Corner and Ngando- all along Naivasha Road.
Installations and estates along Ngong’ Road including Kilimani, City Mortuary, Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), Nairobi Hospital, Coptic Hospital, State House, Department of Defence Headquarters, Lavington, Kileleshwa and Kibera will also be affected.
Others are Forces Memorial Hospital, Kenya Medical Research Institute (Kemri), Golf Course Estate, Kenyatta Market, Karen and areas along Gitanga road.
The interruption will also affect areas along Lang’ata road including Lang’ata Estates, Makadara, Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), Lang’ata Barracks, St Mary’s Hospital, Strathmore university and Wilson Airport.
Areas along Waiyaki Way including University of Nairobi main campus, Parklands campus, Chiromo campus, Westlands, Parklands, Mountain View and Kangemi will also endure water supply interruption.
