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

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.

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.
