Town Clerk Mr Christopher Dube, yesterday announced that Bulawayo City Council will suspend its water shedding programme starting Friday this week up to New Year to allow residents to enjoy the festive holidays with water.
He also announced that the local authority had already reduced with immediate effect the 72-hour water shedding programme to 48 hours. Said Dube:
We have with immediate effect reduced the water shedding programme from 72 to 48 hours per week. From Friday December 23, 2016 there would be no rationing up to the New Year. The reviewing of the programme will depend on the inflows into our dams.
Meanwhile, the Zimbabwe National Water Authority (Zinwa) has urged consumers to continue using water sparingly as water levels in the country’s major dams remain low despite the recent rains.
