City officials might connect new townships to water systems despite existing shortages. Bulawayo plans to link Inhliziyo and Emthunzini townships to city water and sewer lines. This move depends on major infrastructure upgrades first. The city already struggles with water supply issues, implementing regular rationing schedules.
The combined water demand from both fully developed areas would be significant. Meeting this requires new large-diameter piping over several kilometers. Developers must install bulk meters and assist with construction work. The connected areas would also be subject to the same water rationing as other suburbs.
A large budget is allocated for pipeline construction and a chlorine dosing room. The plan includes future integration with the Rangemore Reservoir system. This integration hinges on the completion of the Gwayi Shangani Dam project. Sewer connection poses less challenge for some stands than others.
Design verification is needed for properties across the Phekiwe River. Engineers must confirm if a gravity sewer connection is feasible there. The overall project represents a conditional expansion of strained municipal services.
