Sonko: Here are Nairobi estates that will no longer have water rationing


It is good news for city residents after Governor Mike Sonko announced increased water supply to areas currently under water rationing.

This is due to increased water levels in Ndakaini dam, Nairobi main source of water, that is now 90 per cent full.

Some estates that had been receiving water a few days a week will now have water flowing everyday.

The Central Business District will is among the areas whose water supply has been increased to daily.

NEW WATER SCHEDULE

Governor Sonko toured the dam on Wednesday where he said the new schedule was developed after getting assurances on the dam’s water levels.

He was accompanied by members of the Nairobi County Assembly.

USUAL SUPPLY

Lucky Summer and Dandora will receive water on Monday  in addition to its usual supply of Tuesday to Thursday.
