BCC statement on water cuts in Bulawayo

CITY OF BULAWAYO

PRESS RELEASE
INTERRUPTION OF WATER SUPPLIES

The public is advised that Council is currently carrying out reservoir cleaning at the Criterion Clear Water Supply Reservoir up to Friday the 5th of September 2014. Unforeseen complications have however arisen within the system resulting in reduced supply to all distribution reservoirs supplied by Criterion.

This has resulted in Council having to initiate temporary water shedding up to Tuesday the 2nd of September 2014. Water shedding has been effected in the following areas- Nketa, Nkulumane, and Emganwini with immediate effect so as to build up Magwegwe Reservoir level. Regrettably, all the western suburbs will not have water until the situation improves.

Meanwhile the public is advised that water bowsers have been arranged to service the affected suburbs and Council wishes to apologise to its valued consumers for any inconveniences caused.
