Bindura residents have accused Bindura North legislator Kenneth Musanhi for not acting on the prolonged water challenges in his constituency.
Areas such as Chipadze, Chiwaridzo and Garikai have gone for more than a decade facing such tedious water delivery.
Bulawayo24.com learnt that Musanhi was last seen in his constituency last year.
Residents who spoke to this publication based on anonymity expressed great affliction as they, at times, gaze at their water taps in vain.
"In my neighborhood we have gone for a number of years with inconsistent water delivery. We receive water for about an hour, two or three days a week," an anonymous source said.
People who reside on the left side of Mubayamhondoro receive water differently from the people who stay on the right.
Another source from Progress said," Since 2003, when I started living here, we have been experiencing these challenges and to better our lives some of us have dug wells on our homesteads.
"Water may come in the morning and by 1000hrs it will be gone, and hopefully we will have it again the following day.
"We always pay our rates and we have so far gone for a month without water," she added.
Contacted for comment Musanhi said he is sick hence he is missing in his constituency and blamed the local council for water woes.
"How can l be found in the constituency when l am sick above all we are in lockdown,"Musanhi said.
"I am not Bindura council but having realised that the council is useless l drilled boreholes for the people in my constituency."
