City of Bulawayo apology

The City of Bulawayo would like to apologise to the residents of Bulawayo for the Non-Adherence to the water shedding schedule which was released during the month of October in preparation for shedding in November.

The City of Bulawayo would like to advise residents that this was necessitated by the need to increase the levels for Magwegwe Reservoir which supplies most of the Western areas and Tuli Reservoir (supplying most of the eastern areas) which had gone below their critical levels.

As a result this affected the water pressure in suburbs that had been reconnected with water supplies especially those which were in high lying areas.

We have revised the water shedding schedule to 72 hours which we will be sharing shortly.
