Nairobi CBD & 10 estates to go without water for 24 hours

Nairobi City Water & Sewerage Company Ltd (NCWSC) has announced plans to shut down the water supply pipeline along Uhuru Highway, Mombasa Road and Waiyaki Way.

In a notice published in the local daily newspapers, NCWSC said that the disruption would last for about 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.

“This will facilitate the interconnection of the relocated new and old water pipelines on Uhuru Highway between Haile Selassie Avenue and University Way Road junctions with Uhuru Highway to enable the release of the road corridor to the Expressway road contractor,” the notice reads.
