The frequent water shortages in Nairobi, occasioned by interruption of supply, have not spared even the most powerful office in the land - State House.
Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company has listed State House as one of the areas which will be affected by the interruption of water supply.
According to a notice published on Tuesday, May 4, the water will be cut off from 6:00 am on Thursday, May 6 to Friday, May 7, 6:00 am.
The interruption was caused by ongoing repair on the Sasumua treated water transmission pipeline at the Aberdare forest and the interconnection of the Kabete Reservoirs outlet pipes with the relocated distribution pipeline along Waiyaki Way at the Communication Authority Headquarters due to the ongoing construction of Waiyaki Way – Rironi road.
“Once the works are completed, it will enable release of the road section between Communication Authority Headquarters and the junction of James Gichuru and Waiyaki Way to the Waiyaki Way – Rironi Road Contractor,” the notice read in part.
Areas set to be affected by the water shirtage include Riruta, Kawangware, Dagoretti Corner and Ngando all located along Naivasha Road.
