ZINWA steps up crackdown on illegal water sellers in nationwide operation

Zimbabwe National Water Authority launches widespread enforcement against unlicensed commercial water distributors across the nation. The campaign targets businesses that extract and sell water without proper permits from regulatory bodies. Officials base their actions on Statutory Instrument 90 of 2013, which governs commercial water supplier operations and standards. The authority addresses health risks posed by uncontrolled water distribution practices in urban areas. Marjorie Munyonga from ZINWA Corporate Communications confirms the legal foundation for these enforcement activities.

Commercial water businesses must register with ZINWA before beginning operations within residential zones. The authority conducts random quality tests on water sources and delivery vehicles to verify safety compliance. Licensed suppliers must document all extraction activities for regulatory review. Police departments and other agencies assist ZINWA enforcement teams during field operations. Citizens can report suspicious water distribution through the authority's WhatsApp number 0774 674 333 to support regulatory compliance efforts.
