The decision was reached after the govt learnt that Lake Chivero Water was expensive to treat and not fit for human consumption according to the publication:

This is after the government allocated US $9.3m following a report that row water from Lake Chivero is not good for human consumption and it is expensive to treat. The report further stated that pumping water from Lake Manyame would reduce the usage of aluminium sulphate by 26.8%, consequently reducing the cost of water treatment as aluminium sulphate is the main chemical in the water treatment process.

The government, according to the publication, has also pledged to help with rehabilitating City Of Harare’s Morton Jaffray which at one point in 2019 was shut down due to lack of forex to buy chemical to treat the water.
