Residents of Eldoret and neighbouring regions have been urged to prepare for a temporary disruption in water supply.
This follows a planned routine maintenance at the Chebara Water Treatment Plant by the Eldoret Water and Sanitation Company (ELDOWAS).
According to a public notice issued by ELDOWAS, the maintenance will begin on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. and is expected to conclude by Thursday, December 18, 2025, at 9:00 p.m.
During this period, water supply from the Chebara plant will be unavailable, affecting several key areas across Uasin Gishu County.
