Bulawayo Council Suspends Water Rationing For Several Suburbs

The Bulawayo City Council (BCC) has temporarily suspended the current 72-hour water-shedding programme in the Tuli Reservoir zone following a major pipeline burst.

In a public notice issued on Wednesday, 26 October 2022, the City of Bulawayo’s acting Town Clerk Sikhangele Zhou said several suburbs will be affected. She said:

The City of Bulawayo would like to advise members of the public of water supply interruptions to all areas fed by the Tuli Reservoir.

This is due to a burst that occurred on the clear water line supplying the Tuli reservoir between Ncema and Fernhill Pump Stations.

The following areas are likely to be affected: Lochview, Sunninghill, Marlands, Glencoe, Riverside, Waterford, Manningdale, Willsgrove, Buenavista, Douglasdale, Fortunes gate, Selborne Park, Matsheumhlope Esigodini, Imbizo Barracks, Parklands, Khumalo, Queens Park, Suburbs, Mahatshula, Woodville, Kingsdale, Killarney.

The City of Bulawayo will temporarily suspend the current 72-hour water-shedding programme in the Tuli Reservoir zone until the burst pipe is repaired.

Residents are advised that supplies will be restored once the repair works have been completed and pumping has resumed and the Tuli reservoir has been raised to acceptable levels.

Residents are requested to conserve water and keep taps turned off in the event that the work is completed sooner.
