Various estates within Nairobi County will go without water on Thursday to pave the way for the relocation of water pipelines along the Nairobi Expressway.

The Nairobi City Water & Sewerage Company Limited has issued a notice alerting the people in the affected areas of the scheduled water shut-down.

According to the notice, Nairobi City Water & Sewerage Company Ltd. will shut down the water supply from Thursday 6:00 a.m. until Friday 6:00 a.m.

“Nairobi City Water & Sewerage Company Ltd. will shut down the water supply due to ongoing relocation of water pipelines along the Expressway Highway,” the notice read.

This will enable charging of the pipeline toward Athi River Area in Machakos County.”
