Harare City Council (HCC) has urged residents and ratepayers to use water sparingly saying the local government authority is still facing water production challenges. In a statement seen by Pindula News, the city fathers said:
Water supply update
The City of Harare is advising residents of Harare and all stakeholders that water production remains suppressed owing to inconsistent deliveries of locally sourced liquid aluminium sulphate and its imported granular substitute. Council has the money to pay for the supplies but our supplier is facing some production challenges. The next delivery of granular aluminium sulphate is expected on November 24 this year. As a result of this reduced level of production, water supply coverage around the City has been severely affected. All efforts are being made to work out a sustainable solution to the problems. Residents are encouraged to use availed supplies conservatively all the time they receive water. All inconveniences are sincerely regretted.
Some suburbs and or premises have gone for months, some years without water.
