Harare water problems to worsen

Harare City Council has warned residents to brace for more water woes this season due to high demand coupled with failing equipment at most of the local authority's waterworks.

Council spokesperson Leslie Gwindi said the city was working tirelessly to minimise the impact of the water shortages which he attributed mostly to the city's obsolete equipment and high demand for water during the summer season.

This comes amid reports some residential areas were experiencing acute water shortages with some going for weeks without supplies.

In its latest report, the Harare Residents' Trust cited residents in parts of Glen Norah, Glen View, Budiriro, Highfield and Kuwadzana as the worst affected.
