Byo water is safe: City health dept

BULAWAYO City Council (BCC) has claimed that the city’s water is safe for human consumption despite recent concerns by Lobengula West residents that the water was contaminated.

City health expert Edwin Sibanda yesterday told Southern Eye that water shedding was causing contamination of water sources.

Sibanda said the problem could only be addressed if there was continuous flow of water in the pipes and if old pipes were replaced.
