The Harare City Council has announced an ambitious plan to increase its water production capacity to 520 megalitres per day by the end of this year, up from the current daily output of 350 megalitres. This increase is expected to significantly reduce the city’s water shortages.
To achieve this target, the council has identified several key areas of focus, including upgrading and rehabilitating existing water treatment plants and constructing new ones. Additionally, the council has committed to enhancing its water supply infrastructure, including pipes and pumps, to ensure efficient distribution of the increased water production to residents and businesses.
According to council officials, this plan is part of a broader strategy to improve overall water security in the city. “We recognize that water is a critical resource, and we are committed to ensuring that our residents have access to a reliable and consistent supply of clean water,” said a council spokesperson.
The council has also emphasized the importance of conservation and efficiency in water usage. “We urge all residents and businesses to play their part in reducing water waste and conserving this precious resource,” added the spokesperson.
The council’s plan is expected to have a significant positive impact on the city’s economy and residents. With a reliable and consistent supply of clean water, businesses can operate more efficiently, and residents can enjoy improved health and sanitation.
Despite the challenges, the council remains committed to achieving its target. With concerted efforts from all stakeholders, the Harare City Council is confident that it can make significant strides in improving its water production capacity and ensuring a more secure water supply for its residents.
