The Harare City Council (HCC) has said it is expecting the delivery of granular aluminium sulphate that will help to reduce water production challenges in the city.
Speaking to Zimbabwe Now, City of Harare Acting Corporate Communications Manager Innocent Ruwende said water production in the city was severely affected due to the shortage of water treatment chemicals.
“Council has the money to pay for the supplies but our supplier is facing some production challenges.
“As a result of this reduced level of production, water supply coverage around the city has been severely affected,” he said.
Recently, the City of Harare advised Harare residents and all stakeholders that water production remains suppressed owing to inconsistent deliveries of locally-sourced liquid aluminium sulphate and its imported granular substitute.
He also said all efforts are being made to work out a sustainable solution to the problems and urged residents to use availed supplies sparingly all the time they receive water.
Availability of clean water in Harare has steadily decreased over the years and residents have been saying this long unresolved water crisis is a ticking time bomb of magnified health risks to them.
