The utility said the shutdown would begin at 8am on Monday, November 9, and end at 8am on Tuesday, November 10. The work involves installing new pipe connections to improve the reliability of water supply.
The interruption will affect Westlands, Riverside, Parklands, and nearby areas, as well as Kilimani, Kileleshwa, Lavington, Upper Hill, Lower Hill, Madaraka, and Uhuru Park. Public institutions on the list include Kenyatta National Hospital, Nairobi Hospital, Forces Memorial Hospital, KEMRI flats, Mbagathi Hospital, and DOD.
Residents in Dog Unit, Langata Women’s Prison, Kibera, Jamhuri, and surrounding areas will also lose water. The shutdown will extend to Amboseli, Hatheru, Chalbi, Kenya High, Woodley, and Ngong Road.
Nairobi Water urged customers to store water ahead of the shutdown and use their supplies sparingly during the maintenance period.
“Customers in the affected areas are advised to use the available water sparingly during this period,” the company said.
The utility apologized for the disruption and said the work would help improve service delivery and reliability.
The company asked residents, businesses, and institutions to conserve their supplies and prioritize essential needs until it restores normal service.
Meanwhile, residents in several parts of Kisumu may face low water pressure and temporary supply interruptions for seven days as Kisumu Water and Sanitation Company conducts a valve-throttling trial along the Kajulu Main Line.
The utility said the trial would begin at 9am on Tuesday, November 10, and end at 6pm on Tuesday, November 17. It is preparing for the installation of bulk meters to support water-supply management.
Kisumu Water warned that customers in the affected areas could experience reduced pressure or temporary interruptions throughout the exercise.
