By COLLINS OMULOMore by this AuthorNairobi has announced a two-day water supply interruption following the shutting down of the city’s main water treatment plant. Nahashon Muguna, acting Managing Director of the Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company (NCWSC), explained that the shutdown of Ng’ethu treatment plant was occasioned by heavy rainfall of more than 79mm in the Aberdare Ranges, the facility’s main catchment area. "This has necessitated closing of the water treatment plant to avoid transmission of water which does not meet World Health Organization standards." PARTS AFFECTEDMr Muguna said the city was receiving water from Sasumua, Kikuyu Springs and Ruiru Dam. This accountes for just 15 per cent of the entire water production capacity, meaning about the entire city and its environs would experience the interruption.
