The Nairobi City Water & Sewerage Company has announced that parts of the capital will be without water for 24 hours from 6 am on Thursday, April 14, 2022, to 6 am on Friday, 15, 2022.
In a statement, Nairobi Water stated that the move will pave way for the interconnection of new water lines with the old ones.
"The exercise will be conducted on Uhuru Highway between Haile Selassie Avenue and University Way junctions with Uhuru Highway to enable the release of the road corridor to the Expressway contractor," the statement read in part.
