City fathers assess dam levels

Bulawayo councillors plan to tour two of the city’s main supply dams, Mtshabezi and Gwayi-Shangani, soon to assess the water levels and determine whether or not to lift the water-rationing regime, which has remained in force three months after the rainy season.

According to latest council minutes, water problems in the city have remained critical despite significant inflows during the just-ended rainy season.

“The rainy season has officially come to an end and there had been notable inflows into the council dams, but they still remain very low,” said a council report.
