The Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company (NCWSC) will on Thursday cut water supply on Uhuru Highway due to ongoing work on the expressway.
In a public notice, NCWSC says the disruption will last for 24 hours from Thursday to Friday.
“Nairobi City Water & Sewerage Company Ltd (NCWSC) will shut down the water supply pipeline along Uhuru Highway due to ongoing construction of the Expressway / Mombasa road starting from 6:00 am on Thursday, 14 April 2022 to Friday, 15 April 2022 at 6:00 am” read the notice.
The shutdown is to facilitate the interconnection of relocated new and old water pipelines on Uhuru Highway, between the Haile Selassie Avenue and University Way junctions, to enable the release of the road corridor to the expressway contractor.
The water company has appealed to customers to use available water sparingly as it works towards restoring the supply.
“We strongly advise our esteemed customers to reserve and use water sparingly before and during the period of interruption. Any inconvenience is highly regretted,” said NCWSC Managing Director Nahashon Muguna.
This is the third water disruption this year.
In 2021, city locals had to endure at least seven water supply interruptions in February, May, June, July, September and December.
