City of Masvingo engineer Tawanda Gozo

 …as water quality gets questioned
TellZim Reporter
City of Masvingo today, January 17, organized a media tour of its Bushmead
Water Works after TellZim last week exposed incompetence within the
city’s engineering department which pumped inadequately treated water to residents.
There
was a public relations crisis at the city council after the report had been
made that the city council pumped water to residents without applying aluminum
sulphate, one of the three chemicals used to treat water.
When
TellZim News published the story, the city council called for a press
conference addressed by the mayor Collen Maboke in which he tried to dispel the
report saying council never pumped untreated water to residents.
The
city council was at pains to try and save face and organized a media tour to
its water treatment plant.
City
engineer Tawanda Gozo said that the council has enough chemicals for four
months and residents have nothing to worry about as they have the cleanest
water in the country.
“Our
water is very clean and safe, residents have to drink it without any
hesitation. We have enough water chemicals to sustain us for four months.
“We
had low supplies of aluminum sulphate which could only last for two days but we
managed to acquire 15 tonnes from Zinwa,” said Gozo.
There
were piles and piles of aluminum sulphate at the council warehouse as were
other water treating chemicals.
Gozo
said council would never pump untreated water to residents but would rather not
pump at all if they do not have chemicals.
Though
the city council denied having run out of aluminum sulphate, the engineering
department has put the water superintendent under investigation for
incompetence.
The
water superintendent is being accused of watching as stocks of aluminum
sulphate run out to two days’ supply without notifying the city’s engineer.
