Weather blamed for water shortage in Nairobi

What you need to know:

  • The period from mid-August to early October is usually dry and will depend on the reservoirs.
  • If it does not rain we can only ration further, says NWSC.

The water shortage being experienced in the city could get worse in coming weeks, the Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company has warned.

With taps fast running dry in many estates, the supplier has cautioned that dams are on the verge of drying up.
