Redcliff goes for 3 months without water

BY MIRIAM MANGWAYA
REDCLIFF residents have blasted the local authority over its laissez-faire attitude towards the water crisis in the city after going for three months without running water.

The residents said the water shortage exposed them to waterborne diseases as they were often forced to draw water from unprotected sources.

So serious is the water crisis that residents have resorted to using bucket toilets while others relieve themselves in the open.
