The Zimbabwe National Water Authority (Zinwa) has said it has
adequate water treatment chemicals stocks for all its 534 water supply
stations around the country.
The water authority is also ready to provide adequate, safe and clean
drinking water to its clients in the wake of the cholera outbreak that
affected Harare recently.
In an interview recently, Zinwa spokesperson Mrs Marjorie Munyonga
said despite the fact that no cholera cases were reported in the areas
that the authority supplies treated water, it prioritises human life
“The authority remains on high alert and has ensured that all
stations are adequately stocked with water treatment chemicals while the
Quality Assurance Section continues to subject its water to rigorous
quality tests during the various stages of production and distribution,”
she said.
“The authority’s workshops are also swiftly responding to any cases
of breakdowns so as to minimise the time water consumers go without
supplies.”
Mrs Munyonga said Zinwa was also striving to provide water supplies to its clients.
“Barring any unforeseen occurrences such as major breakdowns,
vandalism of equipment or power outages, Zinwa is able to provide
uninterrupted water supplies to its clients,” she said.
Mrs Munyonga appealed to water users across the board to use the
available water sparingly and make water conservation a priority during
this summer season where use of water tends to be high. Herald
