One of my pet peeves in Harare is water leaks. I hate seeing a burst pipe sending precious water into the verge or down the road – particularly when just meters away you can see people queuing to get water from a neighbour’s borehole, struggling to push a wheelbarrow full of water drums up the road, or straining with a container full of water on their heads.

Many Harare suburbs rarely or never receive municipal water supplies, and it is likely to be a very long time before the city supplies all households with water regularly. In the meantime, help make sure that what little municipal water there is makes it into your and your neigbhours’ taps.

Report water leaks and burst pipes to Harare water:  Phone 04-700087 / 791101 / 772453 & ask them to fix it.
