Harare council plans to rehabilitate water reticulation pipes

HARARE City Council has announced plans to rehabilitate water reticulation pipes that are compromising the quality of water in parts of the city.

Speaking at the Morton Jaffray water treatment plant where the site is being upgraded using part of the $144 million loan from China, acting water manager engineer Tapiwa Kunyadini said although they were almost 70% complete with upgrading the treatment plant, it was also necessary to look at the water pipes.

Several Harare residents toured the treatment plant yesterday to get an appreciation of how far the $144 million loan had gone in solving the city’s water crisis.
