THE City of Harare, in partnership with Helcraw Water, has installed prepaid meters in Avondale West, parts of Mabelreign, Sunridge and parts of Greencroft.
Ward 17 Mt Pleasant Councillor Happymore Gotora said the programme was generally going on well, although there were some challenges as it was a new initiative, and the challenges were being attended to by the engineers.
“Residents have a lot of questions, a lot of issues. We have a meeting on the 28th where I have invited the engineers from Helcraw and Harare Water to explain to residents and answer some questions that they might have, so that we may have a smooth flow of this programme,” he said.
Clr Gotora said the council had started pipe replacement in Sentosa.
“As you are aware, we have had a problem of continuous burst pipes, which have been affecting water supply.
“So coming in with the issue of pipe replacement will enhance water supply in the area and will ensure minimal burst water pipes to reduce non-revenue water,” he said.
