Major parts of Nairobi will from today experience dry taps due to the shutdown of Ng’ethu treatment works. The interruption in water supply will commence at 6am today to Friday, July 10, 6pm. Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company (NCWSC) said the shutdown would allow for repair works at Mwagu water intake along Chania river, from where raw water is abstracted to Ngethu Water Treatment works. “While very effort is being made to restore the supply of water as soon as possible, we urge all residents in the affected areas to use water sparingly,” said Muguna. Maringo, Buruburu, Bahati, Outer-Ring, Baba Dogo, Dandora, Umoja, Donholm, Fedha and surrounding areas will also experience dry taps.
