Kuwadzana battles severe sewage crisis

FOUNTAIN Blue residents in Kuwadzana, Harare, have raised alarm over a decade-long struggle to access sewage facilities, blaming land disputes and alleged encroachment by neighbouring Parkridge stands for worsening the crisis.

In 2016, they contributed US$120 per household for the construction of a sewage system, but nothing has materialised, forcing them to rely on septic tanks while others use Blair toilets.

The community’s frustration worsened when it discovered that its planned sewer line route had been occupied by stands under the Parkridge Housing Consortium, some of which were built in a wetland close to a  stream.
