HARARE residents should brace for another dry weekend as Harare City Council will on Saturday shut down its main water treatment plant, Morton Jaffray Water Works, to facilitate the replacement of obsolete equipment.
It is the second shutdown this month. The city has urged residents to store adequate supplies before the shutdown and use the water sparingly.
“The City of Harare wishes to advise residents of a scheduled complete shutdown of Morton Jaffray Water Works from 6am on 21 to 22 May 2016.
“The city is taking advantage of the winter season when water usage is at its lowest to complete the retrofitting of the new equipment,” said the city’s acting corporate communications manager, Mr Michael Chideme.
Last week, the city said there would be less complete shutdowns of Morton Jaffray Water treatment plant after completing the installation of critical equipment.
Harare City Council is implementing the Harare Water and Sanitation Rehabilitation Project under a $144 million Chinese facility.
