RESIDENTS in parts of Ward 17 have started receiving council water after enduring nearly three months without supplies due to ongoing water pipe replacement works being undertaken by Helcraw Water in partnership with the City of Harare.
Ward 17 Councillor Happymore Gotora said the restoration of water supplies marked significant progress on the infrastructure rehabilitation project, although work is still underway in several sections of the ward.
“Parts of Sentosa are now receiving water, as well as some areas in Mabelreign Central. Those are the areas currently benefiting as the project progresses,” he said.
Clr Gotora said he had engaged engineers overseeing the project and urged them to speed up the works amid growing frustration from residents who have endured prolonged water shortages.
“I spoke to the engineers yesterday because people have been complaining about going for a long time without water. They indicated that they were facing shortages of materials needed to complete the works,” he said.
“I urged them to engage their management so that the required materials are made available to enable the project to be completed.”
