It is illegal for Harare City Council to disconnect water says High Court

The High Court has upheld a previous judgments that it is illegal for Harare City Council to disconnect water supplies to defaulting businesses and residents without a court order. However the local authority has said that it will appeal against the ruling at the Supreme Court.

Last year a High Court judge allowed Council to disconnect water for defaulting residents without a court order provided it follows provisions of the Harare (Water) By-laws S.164/1913, which require that council gives 24 hours’ notice to affected parties before disconnections.
