Gweru City Council Releases Water Rationing Schedule
Gweru city council has introduced a water rationing schedule where residential areas will go for up to 24 hours without water.
The move has been necessitated by the dwindling water levels in the city’s main source of water, Gwenhoro Dam which is now at 18 per cent.
The city Town Clerk, Elizabeth Gwatipedza issued a public notice detailing the water rationing schedules.
The schedule is from Monday to Sunday in which suburbs have been grouped from group one (G1) to group five (G5). Part of the schedule reads:
In G1 there is Mkoba 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 17, Ascot, Mambo, Mtapa, Clifton Park, Shamrock, Ivene, Lundi Park, Southview, Southdowns, Town, Nashville, Northlea and Claremont Park.

Meanwhile, Gweru City Council spokesperson, Manford Gambiza advised residents to practise good hygiene and be careful with water drawn from open water bodies. He said:
In the event of looking for water from alternative sources such as boreholes, open surface water bodies, wells and water trucking, residents are encouraged to treat the water at the point of consumption by either boiling the water and storing it in a narrow-mouthed container to reduce contamination or by water disinfectants and observing the dilution rates and reaction time.
