Hopes that the last few days of downpours will ease the water shortage and rationing have been dashed. Despite heavy rains in Nairobi and its environs, the Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company yesterday called the precipitation “insignificant” and said it won’t raise the level in Ndakaini Dam. It only rains in Nairobi, not in the catchment areas,” corporate communications officer Mbaruku Vyakweli said yesterday. We cannot say we will ration further, but we will do our normal review in two weeks,” Vyakweli told the Star on the phone. Last Friday, Nairobi Water executive Peter Kimori said the county has budgeted for an additional 21 boreholes in this financial year.
