Nairobi will experience a 26-hour water shutdown affecting 17 areas starting Friday. The Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company has announced the disruption, urging residents to store enough water before the outage. The affected areas include parts of the city’s central and western districts. The company said the interruption is due to routine maintenance work on the city’s water infrastructure. Residents are advised to use stored water during the period and avoid using tap water for drinking or cooking. The outage is expected to last until late Sunday. Local authorities are monitoring the situation to ensure minimal impact on daily life. No alternative water supply has been arranged for the affected areas.
