A section of Nairobi estates relying on water from Uthiru and Dagoretti reservoirs will from Wednesday morning experience two days of dry taps over scheduled maintenance.
In a notice released by the Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company, the company said the shut down of the pumps at Kabete Water Works Pumping Station will facilitate installation of suction mains and delivery headers for the station.
The shutdown will also facilitate the commissioning of two new Pumps to boost water from Kabete to the Uthiru reservoir.
The disconnection will start from 6.00am on Wednesday, August 11 to Friday, August 13, 2021, at 6am.
“This is being done as the Company prepares to transport more water to Karen and other areas when the Northern Collector Tunnel water project is completed,” the company said.
