THE Bulawayo City Council has started implementing measures to stretch out water supply as the decommissioning of a third supply dam looms. Last November the local authority revised the weekly water shedding (sic) from 72 hours to 96 hours amid fears of the city running dry by June in the event it does not rain. In his New Year message at the council chambers yesterday, the Mayor, Councillor Solomon Mguni said the overall dam levels in Bulawayo are now at 35, 4 percent. He said water supply will last up to April next year due to the 96-hour water shedding (sic) programme introduced by council.- Source:Chronicle.
