Nairobi Water has announced extended water rationing in several areas following a drop in levels at Ndakaini Dam, according to Tuko.

The utility has reduced production by 35 percent at Ngethu and Kigoro treatment works, Tuko reports. The cuts are attributed to low rainfall that has depleted the dam.

Seven utilities are now subject to extended rationing periods as a result of the reduced water production, according to the report.
