Harare cuts all water supplies to residents
Residents of the Zimbabwean capital, Harare, and Chitungwiza, a dormitory town 35km to the southeast, are to be without water for seven days because of persistent power cuts that have affected bulk water treatment and distribution, the authorities have announced.
A spokesman for the Zimbabwe National Water Authority (ZINWA), the parastatal responsible for national water treatment and distribution, told local media at the weekend that the frequent power failures at Harare's Morton Jaffray Waterworks would mean that "Harare and Chitungwiza will, this whole week, experience a loss of water supplies due to problems beyond our control."
