Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company has announced that water rationing will occur in Nairobi County. Find out if your area is affected.
The municipal water provider stated that the continued flooding had damaged parts of the supply pipelines, resulting in low-pressure water in certain regions.
The rationed supply, implemented under the Equitable Water Distribution Programme, will ensure that each customer receives water at least once weekly.

The water corporation stated that the city is restricted to its installed production capacity as daily demand rises to 900 million liters, compared to 525.6 million liters generated by the four water sources: Kikuyu Springs, Ruiru, Sasumua, and Thika Dams.
"The four have an installed maximum daily production capacity of 440 million, 61 million, 20 million and 4 million litres respectively," read part of the statement.
"This means that even when we have our dams overflowing, the water supply will remain constant- We cannot go beyond the installed production capacity."
