In what drew a fresh scare of another disease outbreak, most suburbs in Harare went without water on Thursday.
Fears of Cholera and Typhoid re re-ignited on Thursday after many Harare residents went for a whole day with a fresh water supply to their houses.
Eastlea, Highlands, Greendale, Derbyshire, Budiriro, Glen View, Highfield, Borrowdale, Shortson, Msasa Park were seen without water supply to their taps.

Harare suburbs go without water

Two residents in Msasa Park told ZimEye their families had gone “throughout the day without a bath due to the crisis.”
A protest statement by the Harare Residents Association stated:
“Most suburbs in Harare have no water today. Harare Water is finding it extremely difficult to provide this precious liquid. How then do we prevent diseases outbreaks like cholera and typhoid if people live without water? ”
Harare this year became the talk of the world after the city’s water was found by a group of doctors to be contaminated with faeces. The city council refuted the findings.
Efforts to obtain a comment from the Harare city council on the water supply failure were frutless as the phone kept ringing without being answered. (ZIMBABWE ZimEye)

  5. Let the Zezuru people of Harare govern their own resources.they shld have their own Police Commissioner and Army chief, and the same for Umtali, Bindura, and then Mthwakazi. All these will then collectively report to one central government

  8. Our president is busy having up and downs with private jets celebrating birthdays waisting lots of dollars whilst in the capital city there is no water ? zanu pf must go pple they are shallow minded nxa.

  9. Water should not have taste, Harare water has taste. Water must not have visible colloids and suspensions. The pH should be 7 but Harare water burns my tongue, it is acidic. Signs are visible even without testing the water in the Laboratory. It is highly likely that the Harare water does not meet WHO standards. To make matters worse the city of Harare is on the catchment of Lake Chivero such that all sewer leaks find their way to the lake. During the good days the dirty water from Lake Chivero was being diluted with water from a dam on the way to Zvimba before treatment. There is dangerous water weed in the Lake Chivero itself. Zimbabwe is just sitting on a ticking health time bomb that has to be diffused. A certain UZ professor Moyo predicted this in 1995. Nobody took notice as people who matter are playing politics.
