Residents of Nairobi and surrounding counties have been advised to use water sparingly in light of extended rationing occasioned by a 35 per cent reduction in production at Ngethu and Kigoro water treatment plants.

Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company (Nairobi Water) said the drop has been occassioned by reduced inflows into Ndakaini Dam due to below-average rainfall in its catchment area.

The company said reduction is expected to trigger longer water rationing periods for customers served by seven water companies drawing from the affected supply system, extending the anticipated disruption beyond Nairobi.
