Council acts on water crisis: Feasibility study on duplication of Insiza Dam pipeline complete
Chronicle Reporter
THE Bulawayo City Council has started implementing short-term contingency measures, including the duplication of the Insiza Dam pipeline, in a bid to avert perennial water problems in the city.
The project is expected to cost $21,2 million.
The city has started vigorously lobbying for funds from Government and financial institutions to undertake the project.
The city has completed a feasibility study for the construction of a parallel pipeline from Insiza Dam to increase the volume of water to be pumped from the city’s largest supply dam.
The city is faced with a crisis as it expects to decommission two of its five supply dams — Upper Ncema and Umzingwane — in the next four months.
About 80 percent of Bulawayo’s water supplies is at Insiza Dam.
If the dams were decommissioned, the Insiza Dam pipeline would be too small to supply enough water to the city’s residents.
