Nairobi residents are poised to benefit from a significant improvement in water supply following the completion of the Northern Water Collector Tunnel.

This crucial infrastructure project is expected to deliver an additional 140 million liters of water daily to the city’s distribution system, as announced by Governor Johnson Sakaja.

During a recent tour of the Gigiri Reservoir and pumping station, Governor Sakaja emphasized the impact this development will have on the city.

“Nairobians who have been receiving water only once a week can now expect that frequency to increase to two or even three times a week as the new system comes online,” he said.

This increase in supply aims to alleviate the chronic water shortages that have plagued various areas of the city, including Eastlands, Kabete, and Lang’ata.

Governor Sakaja underscored his administration’s commitment to ensuring reliable and equitable water distribution across Nairobi. “We are committed to achieving water justice in Nairobi,” Sakaja stated, highlighting that the improved supply will address long-standing disparities in access to clean water.

Beyond quantity, the governor also stressed the importance of water quality. He revealed that engineers from the Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company (NWSC) conduct rigorous tests every 30 minutes to ensure that the water meets the highest safety and quality standards.

“Our goal is to reduce the reliance on borehole water, which often poses a risk of waterborne diseases,” Sakaja added.

The Northern Water Collector Tunnel is set to supply 85 percent of Nairobi’s water needs, marking a significant step forward in resolving the city’s water crisis. This development is expected to enhance the quality of life for Nairobi residents by providing more reliable access to clean water.
