AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> As the government advocates hand washing to stem spread of coronavirus, perennial water crisis in the city could frustrate the sanitation campaign.<\/p>\n

Washing or sanitising hands regularly, according to epidemiologist Marshal Mweu, will be key in averting a full-blown\u00a0crisis.However, biting\u00a0water\u00a0crisis\u00a0has remained a challenge across\u00a0city\u00a0estates for years.<\/p>\n

City\u00a0residents have had to grapple with this challenge long before they imagined that they would have to deal with the threat posed by the new virus that has left more developed countries reeling in its wake.<\/p>\n

Considering the toll that the country\u2019s economy is projected to take in the coming months owing to the virus, the hand sanitisers currently being sold will soon be a luxury to most residents, leaving\u00a0water\u00a0as their only option.<\/p>\n

Take over<\/strong><\/p>\n

When he took over control of the\u00a0city, one of the urgent matters Maj-Gen Mohammed Badi was tasked with was ending Nairobi\u2019s perennial\u00a0water\u00a0shortage that has previously been blamed on cartels cashing in on the\u00a0crisis.<\/p>\n

This task is particularly critical at the moment as the country\u2019s success in keeping the global pandemic at bay heavily depends on availability of\u00a0water.Most households in Nairobi\u2019s\u00a0Eastlands experience some form of\u00a0water\u00a0scarcity.<\/p>\n

Umoja Estate, for instance, is a lesson in contradiction. The vast estate is occupied mostly by low and middle-class citizens, and this disparity shows in the distribution of\u00a0water. Some residents of Umoja have unlimited access to the resource while others enjoy partial access. Others, however, are not as lucky and their taps can be dry for months on end.Mama Njeri says she has lived in Umoja 2 for close to two decades, moving houses in search of a reliable\u00a0water\u00a0supply.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore I moved to my new house, I had never seen\u00a0water\u00a0come out of my taps for four years,\u201d she says.She since moved to a different place, still within Umoja 2, she now has access to\u00a0water\u00a0all day courtesy of a borehole sunk by the owner of a neighbouring flat. She, however, only uses the\u00a0water\u00a0for her domestic needs, opting to buy drinking\u00a0water\u00a0from vendors that dot the area.<\/p>\n

In Umoja 1, Catherine Njeri directs a customer to clean her hands before she can touch any of the fruits she has on display. The threat of coronavirus has forced her to take the necessary precaution, for her own and her customers\u2019 sake. But it has also added to her burden.<\/p>\n

\u201cBesides buying\u00a0water, I now have to buy soap too. And not all the people who wash their hands will buy from my stall,\u201d she says.She, and Mary, a fruit vendor in the adjacent stall, live in Umoja 1 and are among the many who depend on hand-cart\u00a0water\u00a0vendors who sell a 20-litre jerrycan at Sh40.\u201cWater\u00a0here is seriously rationed. It is even worse for us who live in the upper floors where it never reaches during the few times it is supplied,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Residents in parts of the neighbouring Kayole Estate have access to piped\u00a0water\u00a0provided by the county\u2019s\u00a0water\u00a0company for few hours every week.\u201cWe only get\u00a0water\u00a0once a week on Friday, from about 5pm to 3am Saturday, and getting it is a struggle because all the 30 households in our flat depend on the same source,\u201d says Dennis Onyango.<\/p>\n

He is particularly worried about the safety of the\u00a0water\u00a0as the single tap is handled by all who collect the\u00a0water.Most of the residents in his flat have resorted to buying\u00a0water\u00a0for their domestic use as the daily supply is inadequate.<\/p>\n

In some parts of Pipeline, an estate dominated by high-rise buildings, the situation is worse. Here, residents are accustomed to buying\u00a0water. Many others rely on the various boreholes sank in the area.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth Nyaboke, a mother of two, had been without\u00a0water\u00a0for the last one month. The pipes that supply the building in which she lives were dismantled to pave way for road construction works. On Monday, however,\u00a0water\u00a0flowed out of her taps again. But she could not use it.\u201cIt was dirty,\u201d she says, adding, \u201cI cannot risk my children\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n

\u201dNyaboke has been buying\u00a0water\u00a0for her household use, but the price per jerrycan has shot up since the threat of coronavirus became real.\u201cI could buy a jerrycan of\u00a0water\u00a0at Sh20. They (vendors) are now selling it at Sh50,\u201d she adds, saying that she has been forced to buy hand sanitisers as having her two children wash their hands regularly was too expensive.<\/p>\n

Selling point<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some of the\u00a0water\u00a0supplied to Pipeline comes from as far as Imara Daima, from Aaron Kimunyi, the owner of a local primary school designated by the county government as a\u00a0water-selling point.\u201cI mostly supply to hand-cart vendors.<\/p>\n

Most of their customers are from Pipeline,\u201d he says.The\u00a0water\u00a0situation in Nairobi will, however, not change any time soon.This is according to the Nairobi\u00a0City\u00a0Water\u00a0and Sewerage Company acting Managing Director Nahashon Muguna, who says the company cannot meet the\u00a0city\u2019s\u00a0water\u00a0needs.<\/p>\n

\u201cNairobi requires a daily\u00a0water\u00a0supply of 810,000 cubic metres. Our current production capacity is 525,000 cubic metres so we can\u2019t stop rationing\u00a0water,\u201d says Muguna. He adds, \u201cPeople should store\u00a0water\u00a0and even as they wash their hands, they should use the available supply sparingly.<\/p>\n

\u201dThis reality perhaps reinforces the need to observe safety measures in preventing further infection such as social-distancing.According to Muguna, areas such as Kawangware and Riruta are the worst affected.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are only able to supply 38 per cent of their demands owing to the greater\u00a0city\u00a0demand which is higher than the supply,\u201d he says.Langata and Karen, where those who sit higher in the societal ladder reside, have a 12-hour weekly supply.Mathare on the other hand, Muguna says, receives a daily supply of\u00a0water\u00a0owing to its topography and access to the main line.<\/p>\n

Largest slum<\/strong><\/p>\n

Other informal settlements have an average designated supply of three days. Kibra, the country\u2019s largest slum, has an allocation of three and a half days, while the Mukuru slums are supposed to get\u00a0water\u00a0for three days every week. Nairobi CBD, military establishments, hospitals and universities are some of the areas with a daily allocation.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur rationing is planned in a way that ensures that the most vulnerable are not disadvantaged,\u201d he says.But the reality on the ground, as some residents claim, is different.<\/p>\n

Elijah Mwandikwa lives in Laini Saba, Kibra, where no piped\u00a0water\u00a0exists. Here,\u00a0water\u00a0is sold at the various designated points at Sh5 per 20-litre jerrycan, a price, he says is somewhat fair.It is not all gloomy though. Abdi Guyo from Mukuru kwa Njenga says the situation at the slum previously infamous for\u00a0water\u00a0scarcity is getting better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
