MOST parts of Harare’s Central Business District have been dry for the past two days after council experienced technical challenges at Warren Control.
Harare City Council spokesperson, Michael Chideme confirmed the local authority was facing water supply problems in the city centre, the northern suburbs, Msasa and the heavy industrial area.
“Warren Control had a power failure and this affected our delivery lines into the city,” Chideme said.
“We are currently working on the technical faults and expect complete restoration of water supplies by 1 March (yesterday).
He said the western and southern suburbs and Mbare were not affected by the shortages as they get their water directly from Prince Edward and a direct feed from Morton Jaffray. – Newsday
WITH RECORD RAINS! :YOU MUST BE JOKING!
Nemanairo aita mvura mukore uno you can wake up with no water. Infrastructure maintenance irikukonzeresa.
The City of Harare
must consider partnership with skilled and capable private players who will be
contracted to install new water pumps and provide clean water for all. The City
of Harare owns infrastructure for which various value added service providers
can be contracted in order to provide world class services to the residents.
This applys to all areas including refuse collection, land development, dilapidated
municipality immovable properties across the city like community halls, beer halls,
clinics , schools to mention only a few. To envision a dream of providing world
class services to residents were the council want to achieve it by itself and in this economic environment is day dreaming to me.
