‘Harare face imminent humanitarian crisis’

RESIDENTS’ associations have warned of an imminent humanitarian disaster if urgent contingency plans are not put in place following the decommissioning of the Prince Edward Water Treatment Plant in Chitungwiza.

The City of Harare has announced that the water treatment plant will be temporarily decommissioned as water levels are now unbearably low.

The local authority, however, reassured residents that the water works will be recommissioned when the dams fill up, most likely during the coming rainy season.
