THE City received an amount of USD $150 000,00 from the RBZ ,which money was paid to our supplier , the city remains engaged with the RBZ on matters to do with the release of a further figure enough to pay for others chemicals we use in the purification process.
On the same , the CoH In conjunction with a partner would want to inform the public that ,tests for a new water chemical that will replace three of those in current use and save $500000,00US dollars ,are progressing well ,this will improve our yield per day as it will also deal with odour , algae and kill bacteria making more water available to our residents.preliminary indications are that chlorine dioxide will restore confidence in our water through improved quality of the distributed product .
Going forward the city intend to work with corporates to replace old pipes, and deal with leakages to ensure all treated water is distributed to our residents, and on this the RBZ remains key to the funding of materials of use therefore , your council will keep the RBZ engaged on matters of foreign currency funding .
Lastly the council will keep asking government to expedite the construction of of Kunzvi,musami and muda dams in order to find lasting solutions to our city water problems,all MPS are therefore asked to be part of this process as is government and all other stakeholders and ensure that the construction of these new water facilities is a matter that is prioritized both in there discussions and budgeting.
