Already, estates in Lang’ata Constituency and areas along Mombasa Road are facing an acute water shortage, with the worst hit being Nyayo Highrise and Madaraka.Set to be completed in 2015-2016 financial year, the project is yet to start and was handicapped by an earlier order issued by Dr Kidero for an independent review of its design, which is almost complete.Although the board had approved the project, its construction may not start because the board will need to approve a number of available financing options.When complete, water supply in the city will increase by 50,000 cubic metres, according to approvals by the board.A key sewer reticulation project in Roysambu has been approved but cannot take off.It is believed the Sh4.4 billion project, which was to be undertaken by Athi Water and Service Board, is being blocked by Nairobi Water company due to vested interests.If not built in time, there are fears that estates such as Roysambu, Zimmerman, Clayworks, Kasarani and Mwiki, could soon have raw sewerage flowing in the open because of lack of capacity to handle the sewer.
