“We would like to notify our customers that the water pipeline along Outer Ring Road has been swept away at the Ngong River Crossing at Kware,” Nairobi Water said in a statement.
Torrential rains that have been incessantly pounding Nairobi have flooded and destroyed homes, roads, bridges and other infrastructure across the country.
Nairobi county politician Rodriques Mulindi said the occupants of the newly constructed apartment were at risk of losing their lives.
The landlord of the crumbling building asked the politician to let the tenants stay as he promised to rectify the contractor's mess.
Mulindi also disclosed that the occupants of the nearby informal structures were also evacuated.
