The company announced that the dry taps will start being experienced on Wednesday 6am to Thursday 6am and this is to facilitate upgrading of Uthiru Pumps and Dagoretti Pumps suctions.

Nairobi Water said the pumping station located in Kabete Water Works will be upgraded to pump an extra 25,000 cubic meters of water to Karen, Riruta, Satellite, Uthiru and Kawangware.

The Kabete pumping station is meant to produce an extra 42 million litres of water from the current 30 million litres of water daily once the upgrading project is completed.

A pumping station with a capacity of 500,000 litres is also being erected at Kenya High School.
