Losses of up to 60% already suggest enough water is being produced. Recovering this loss may generate enough financial resources to attend to infrastructure Incremental attention to NRW generates stakeholder goodwill & potentially other domestic financing options

The high non-revenue water rates reported (often understated owing to weak data gathering & analysis) is worrying @UcazOfficial Infrastructure appears to be the wrong end to start. Yes it needs attention but knowledge of the systems is too low that other solutions aren't seen

Newly planted trees in Africa Unity Square are now blooming. The city is replacing old trees with new plants to maintain the park’s decorum.

Dear Harare Residents We do not have a scheduled shutdown of Morton Jaffray Water Treatment Plant from 21 February to 18 March 2022 as is being highlighted on social media platforms. We urge all our customers and stakeholders to disregard that message as it is patently false.

The City of Bulawayo in partnership with Tendy Three is launching a world class parking management system with effect from Friday, 18 February 2022. #SmartParking

We are extremely happy that our new piece of equipment has been delivered. A positive development on service delivery. Thank you for your patience during the difficult times , together we can achieve more

Dear Residents Council is making a follow up on unpaid debts through the issuance of summons. We encourage residents receiving the summons to visit our revenue offices to make payment arrangements.

Very important that residents stand on the side of local authorities in these difficult times. Honouring obligations to councils in time is the single most form of responsibility a resident could do.
