Massive water cuts loom

THE Harare City Council has been given a blank cheque to effect massive water cuts over unpaid bills after High Court judge Justice Happias Zhou yesterday dismissed an urgent chamber application filed by three residents challenging the disconnection of their water supplies arguing that water was “a Constitutional right”.

The residents had sought an interdict order barring the city council from cutting water supplies until the matter was finalised.
But the residents’ application was dismissed with costs.
