Harare clears water chemicals debt

HARARE City Council (HCC) has paid an equivalent of US$560 000 to Chemplex Corporation, clearing half of its debt with the State entity.

It is expected that the payment will unlock fresh water treatment chemical supplies, NewsDay has learnt.

Harare mayor Jacob Mafume yesterday said the payment, made last week, was part of broader efforts to improve the water supply situation in the capital.
