No water for Bulawayo residents.

ALL Bulawayo suburbs will be without water all day today (Monday, 24 June) due to scheduled maintenance at Ncema water works.

Exempted areas from the water cut include Industry and the Central Business District.

The unavailability of water, according to the Bulawayo City Council, is the result of a failure to pump water to the city and subsequently, no treatment at Criterion water works, leading to compromised city reservoir levels.

In a statement, Bulawayo Town Clerk Mr Christopher Dube said there will be a temporary cut in the water shedding programme for today.

“To protect the supply and distribution reservoirs from collapsing, the City of Bulawayo will temporarily suspend the current water shedding programme and cut off supply to all residential areas on Monday, 24 June. Supplies are scheduled to resume on Tuesday, 25 June 2024 after pumping and stabilisation of reservoirs.

“The City of Bulawayo wishes to apologise to its valued consumers for the inconvenience caused by the erratic water supplies,” said Mr Dube.
