CHEGUTU residents who have experienced perennial water shortages, are set to heave a sigh of relief following installation of a transformer at the raw water source to feed into the town’s supply dam.
This will ensure uninterrupted all-year-round piped water.
During the rainy season, Chegutu harnesses raw water from Mupfure river which is then pumped to fill Cliffton dam for use during dry spells.
A Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority (ZESA) transformer situated along Mupfure river recently broke down resulting in council being unable to harvest water, a development that saw water levels recede in the supply dam.
