Harare City Council losing 65 percent of treated water to leaks

Harare City Council’s director of water, Engineer Hosiah Chisango has revealed that the local authority is losing almost two-thirds of treated water before the water reaches its final destination. This is due to ageing pipes and water metres.

Said Eng Chisango:

Our loss (to leakages) is currently the physical 35 percent and it adds up to 65 percent including the (water) meters.

There is need to replace the meters.

We are moving in to replace and introduce new pressure reducing valves in Budiriro, Kuwadzana and Glen View, among other high density suburbs.
