Bulawayo City Council Extends Water-Shedding Period To 72 Hours

Bulawayo City Council announced that it has extended water rationing period from 48 hours to 72 hours as a result of low water levels at Criterion Raw Water Reservoir.

A notice issued by the Council on Monday reads as follows:

The City of Bulawayo would like to advise members of the public that council will continue shedding water into the weekend on a 24-hour regime. After the weekend, the shedding programme will revert to a 48-hour programme.

This is a result of the low water levels at Criterion Raw Water Reservoir, the city’s largest water treatment plant, due to disruption of continuous pumping at Umzingwane and Inyankuni.

Council is currently working on the breakdowns at the dams so that raw water pumping is improved.

Bulawayo, the country’s second-largest city, has faced water problems for many years due to the aridity of its climate. Plans to draw water for the city form the Zambezi River are yet to bear fruit.
