Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company announces supply outage in several estates despite the current heavy rainfall.
In a statement released on Sunday, while identifying 11 more affected estates, the company disclosed that only four water sources are serving the city.
The agency noted that floods washed away some of the main water pipelines, affecting supply in over 10 estates.
In addition, the prevalent flooding situation in Nairobi has affected the supply of water in the city.
According to the agency, the heavy downpours have not increased the capacity for supply from the four main sources namely; Kikuyu Springs, Ruiru, Sasumua and Thika Dams.
“The water is treated in Ngethu, Sasumua, Kabete Water Treatment Works and Kikuyu Springs. The four have an installed maximum daily production capacity of 440 million, 61 million, 20 million and 4 million litres, respectively. This totals the daily maximum design production capacity of 525.6 million litres per day against a daily demand of 900 million litres.
Our water supply to the City is, therefore, limited to the installed production capacity. This means that even when our dams overflow, the water supply will remain constant—we cannot go beyond the installed production capacity,” the company said in its Sunday communique.
The flooding in the city was reported to have washed away some of the main water supply pipelines.
