The Nairobi City Water & Sewerage Company Ltd (NCWSC) on Friday shut down water production at Sasumua Dam due to a landslide inside the Aberdare Ranges forest which has damaged the water transmission pipeline.

The following areas will be affected by the shutdown:

  • Nairobi Hospital, Kenyatta National Hospital and Community.

  • Areas along Langata, Madaraka Estate, Mbagathi and Ngong roads, Karen.
  • Loresho, Nyari, Kitisuru, estate along Peponi Road, New Muthaiga and Thigiri ridge areas

Those residing in Eastlands will get water this weekend as water supply from Ng’ethu treatment works is slowly stabilizing.
