Bulawayo water rationing remains in force

BULAWAYO residents will continue to endure water-shedding for the foreseeable future, despite improving dam levels, as ageing and inadequate infrastructure cripples the city’s ability to supply sufficient water.

According to the latest Dam Watch report released by the City of Bulawayo, the six supply dams — Insiza, Inyankuni, Lower Ncema, Umzingwane, Upper Ncema and Mtshabezi — now hold a combined 414,6 million cubic metres of water.

The report shows a notable improvement compared to the same period last year when dam levels stood at 49,77%.
