The Athi Water Works Development Agency (AWWDA) is responsible for the shutdown, which will affect areas such as Riverside, Lavington, Kileleshwa, Kilimani, Ngong Rd, Sunview, Adams Arcade, Woodley, Ngumo, Kibera, Makini, and other parts of the city. The company apologises for the inconvenience caused and urges residents to exercise patience while they work to restore normal water supply.",
