BULAWAYO’S water nightmare is finally flowing away!
The City of Kings has pulled off a comendable engineering triumph, resurrecting its crippled Sulzer pump and unleashing a tidal wave of relief for parched residents. After weeks of agony, the tap trickle has doubled—from a measly 45 megalitres a day to a gushing 100 ML/day—with Town Clert Christopher Dube declaring the 130-hour water shedding schedule back on track!
Reservoir levels are climbing, and neighbourhoods are finally getting their H2O fix—though some areas still cling to water trucks like lifelines.
But hold the champagne! Insiders warn the battle’s not over. The City dropped a bombshell: there’s no backup pump ready to save the day if disaster strikes again. The city fathers are scrambling to fix that—and a dodgy transformer—ASAP.
Dube said the city will keep water trucks rolling for high-lying zones and funerals.
“We’re not out of the desert yet,” admitted a City insider, “but this is HUGE.” Residents, once fuming over dry taps, are now cautiously cheering. “Thank the heavens—and the engineers!” said one local, though others griped, “Why’d it take so long?”
Mr Dube advised residents to save every sip as the water war rages on.
