Residents across more than 80 Nairobi estates are bracing for a three-day water outage beginning late Monday night, after Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company Ltd announced an emergency shutdown of a key supply pipeline.

The interruption takes effect on Monday, 26 October 2026, at 11:59 pm and is expected to last until Thursday, 29 October 2026, at 11:59 pm.

This stems from emergency repair works on the NCT–Kigoro–Gigiri–Kabete pipeline being carried out by the Athi Water Works Development Agency (AWWDA).
