ONE of Bulawayo's water supply dams, Mtshabezi is still 99% full, Zimbabwe National Water Authority (Zimwa) said via Twitter today.
"Dams supplying @CityofBulawayo Mtshabezi is 99% full, Mzingwane 64,1%, Upper Ncema 53,3% and Lower Ncema 48,7%," reads the tweet.
The Bulawayo City Council recently announced that it is working on the construction of a new supply dam near Filabusi in Matabeleland South mid-year.
Bulawayo Mayor Councillor Martin Moyo said the Glassblock Dam project is expected to take two-and-a-half years.
The project that will be undertaken at an estimated cost of $208 million will see Bulawayo having seven supply dams in a move that will significantly improve the water situation in the city.
The Glassblock Dam is being constructed under a public-private partnership (PPP) arrangement with the private sector providing the requisite funding.
