Freda Rebecca Gold Mine and Bindura Municipality are building a US$3 million Masembura Pipeline to secure water for the mine and the town. The 22 kilometre glass reinforced plastic line will draw from Masembura Dam and is designed to last at least 50 years with limited maintenance. ZINW Enterprises, a Zimbabwe National Water Authority subsidiary, is delivering the project.
Funding is split at 60 percent from Freda Rebecca and 40 percent from the municipality. The system will move 700 cubic metres per hour, supported by an 800kVA standby generator and a 500 cubic metre balancing tank, with three legs serving the plant and municipal works. The build boosts industrial output and urban supply, creates 80 jobs, advances Vision 2030 and National Development Strategy 1, and is praised as climate resilient and health protective, with proposals dating to 1992.
