    "content": "(b) In order to ensure that water supply in the estate is restored, my Ministry has undertaken the following measures. (i) We have placed staff responsible for operation and maintenance on high alert to ensure damage resulting from the ongoing road construction works is repaid immediately. (ii)We have installed sectional valves in several locations within Kileleshwa to enable isolation of damaged sections and facilitate quick repair and reduce water losses. (iii) My Ministry has also repaired the Ruiru Dam and Kabete Water Pipeline which had been vandalized. This has raised water production at Kambiti Water Treatment Plant and assisted in maintaining supply pressures in Kileleshwa Estate. In order to boost water availability at Kabete Reservoirs, construction of a second pumped line from Gigiri to Kabete transfers an additional 40,000 cubic metres per day of water to Kabete for supply to upper Nairobi zones, including Kileleshwa, is under implementation and will be completed in November 2012. In the medium-long term, Athi Water Services Board under the Ministry is finalizing a water master plan to guide the development of water resources for Nairobi City and metropolitan areas. From this master plan, Athi Water Services Board is already on course to fast track implementation to meet the 2017 water demand. In addition to the Athi Water Services Board, we are concluding a network modeling and design for the distribution system in Nairobi to ensure equitable supply to all areas. Once these measures are actualized, the water supply and distribution system will match those in the First World cities."
