BCC fails to explain prolonged water shortages

BULAWAYO City Council (BCC) has failed to explain the prolonged water shortages in the city, ruling out the possibility of normalisation of water supplies soon.

The council has failed to meet the March deadline to end water-shedding, with some areas going for two weeks without running water.

Council unveiled a 72-hour water-shedding regime, down from the 144 hours implemented in 2020 after the city’s supply dams received significant inflows this year.
