City admits water supply nightmare

Harare City Council has admitted it is having a nightmare in meeting the demand for water by residents amid revelations that Prince Edward Dam is virtually empty and even if Morton Jaffray was to be fully rehabilitated demand will always outstrip supply.

Council's acting corporate communications manager Michael Chideme said that council was unable to supply water to everyone.

Chideme said council was currently refurbishing the Morton Jaffray Plant but the water supply would still not be enough as the city was growing.
