Water outages
Find water outage updates in your area.
OutageKE helps you check local water outages, report dry taps, and understand whether the issue is limited to your county or estate.
How to check water outages nearby
Start with your county name, town, or estate and compare reports from neighbours. Water outages can be reported locally or may appear as broader shortages affecting an area.
If your taps are dry, checking multiple nearby locations helps you know whether the problem is isolated or part of a wider service interruption.
Report a water outage
- Mention your county, sub-county, estate, or nearby landmark.
- Note when the taps went dry and whether any neighbours are affected.
- Choose "Water outage" so reports appear in the right category.
Detailed reports improve the site for everyone and make it easier to spot whether the outage is local or part of a broader supply issue.
Prepare for a water interruption
Keep a small supply of clean water for drinking, cooking, and hygiene. If your water supply is interrupted, use it carefully and fill bottles while the tap still runs.
- Store at least 5–10 liters of clean water in a covered container.
- Use reusable bottles and refill them before the outage starts.
- Wash your hands with a small basin and keep disinfectant available.
