Nairobi Water Shutdown to Affect Hospitals and Estates

A three-day water shutdown is set to affect various parts of Nairobi, including hospitals and estates, from Monday night to Thursday night.

The Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company Ltd announced the interruption, which is due to an emergency shutdown of the NCT-Kigoro-Gigiri-Kabete pipeline for repair works.

Affected Areas

Areas affected include Upper Hill, Kenyatta National Hospital, Nairobi Hospital, and the western corridor, among others.

  • Estates such as Lavington, Kileleshwa, and Kilimani
  • Lower Waiyaki Way and Westlands
  • Parklands, Highridge, and Lower Kabete

The company has appealed to customers to use available water sparingly during the shutdown.
