Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Bulawayo City Council (BCC) Tuesday told residents that it cannot guarantee uninterrupted water supplies to all areas due to intermittent power supply being experienced.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Bulawayo Town Clerk Christopher Dube said if the power supply situation continues, high lying areas may start experiencing low water pressure and water cuts. Said, Dube:<\/p>\n

The City of Bulawayo would like to inform residents of Bulawayo that there may be possible water supply interruptions due to the intermittent power supply being experienced citywide.<\/p>\n

The Ncema and Fernhill Pump Stations last night lost 3hrs of pumping and the Criterion Water Treatment Works still has no power since 18:18hours yesterday (Monday, 28 June 2021).<\/p>\n

Residents are advised that this has negatively affected the treatment of water as well as pumping of both raw water and clear water.<\/p>\n

If this situation continues, high lying areas may start experiencing low water pressure and intermittent water supply.<\/p>\n

As these challenges are being experienced residents are requested to note that the city is not under Water Shedding except for the suburbs supplied by Tuli Reservoir.<\/p>\n

The City of Bulawayo urges residents to conserve water.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Energy and Power Development Minister Zhemu Soda Monday said the country faces prolonged power outages after a surge in electricity imports from neighbouring South Africa overloaded the network and caused generating plants to fail.<\/p>\n

Speaking by phone to Bloomberg, Zhemu said the surge caused a nationwide blackout in the early hours of Monday, as it affected output at the Kariba hydropower plant and the coal-fired Hwange Power Station.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
