"The shutdown will facilitate the repair of a major leakage on the raw water pipeline between Matara Raw Water Chamber and Ngethu Water Treatment Plant. It will involve carrying out scheduled maintenance at the Kiambu reservoir, also in preparation of the anticipated El Niño phenomenon during the October 2023 short rains," Nairobi Water stated in its notice in part.
