Taps ran dry across the whole city on Saturday due to a power outage at the city’s water supply source – Gwenhoro Dam which is situated 46km away from Gweru. ---------- itel A70 256GB $99USD WhatsApp: https://wa.me/+263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 ---------- Gweru mayor, Councilor Josiah Makombe said there was no electricity at Gwenhoro Dam following the power outage on Saturday morning. He said: > There are some ZESA poles which collapsed along the power line to Gwenhoro Dam on Saturday. ZESA has been working on them. > Because of the power outage, we haven’t been pumping water and that resulted in the taps running dry. > ZESA is working flat out to address the fault line and we hope soon we will have water back. People with boreholes on their properties especially in low-density suburbs such as Athlone, Lundi Park and Kopje have been selling the commodity for US$4 per 20litre bucket. In high-density areas such as Mkoba 15, 18 and 21, those with wells which are mostly unprotected have also been selling water for at least US$2 per 20litre bucket. *More: Chronicle* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
