The Moshi Urban Water Authority has urged residents to report water leaks immediately, stating that delays in notification hinder prompt repairs. An official speaking for Director Albert Nangwe addressed a specific sewage leak on Kalimani Street, asserting it was not a long-standing issue and would have been resolved sooner if reported. The authority aims to address all reported complaints within a twelve-hour window.
Residents in the Boma Mbuzi Ward, however, expressed fear of waterborne diseases, claiming raw waste has flowed from a burst pipe for three months. They described a foul smell and serious environmental hazards, with contaminated water running near homes and businesses.
Local shop owner Omary Salim reported extreme difficulty operating his business. Other residents, including Idrisa Makishe and Zulea Asumani, worried about children playing near the contaminated drainage, citing a high risk for cholera and other severe health consequences.
