The Harare City Council has revealed that it is facing challenges in acquiring water treatment chemicals due to an outstanding US$2 million debt owed to Chemplex Corporation, the company responsible for supplying these essential chemicals.
The shortage of water treatment chemicals has the potential to impact the quality of water supplied to Harare residents and may lead to health concerns if not addressed promptly.
The council has acknowledged the importance of settling its debt with Chemplex Corporation to ensure a continuous supply of water treatment chemicals and maintain the quality of water provided to the city’s inhabitants.
It is crucial for the council to prioritise the allocation of funds to address this issue, as access to clean and safe water is a basic human right and is essential for public health.
As the Harare City Council works towards resolving this issue, residents are advised to monitor updates from the council and take necessary precautions to ensure their health and safety.
