In a statement, the Company said the shutdown aims at re-installing the Gigiri Reservoir Outlet Valve, which was under repair after failing. 

The failure caused interruptions of water supply to the City recently.

The water company assured Nairobi residents that the maintenance work will enhance production of water, thus ensuring effective distribution within the City and its environs.

“We request all customers in the affected areas to use their stored water sparingly during the period of interruption,” Managing Director Philip Gichuki said in the Tuesday statement.
