Service delivery update: Week of 7 July 2012
Combined Harare Residents Association (CHRA)
July 12, 2012

For the past few months, Mabvuku residents in New Stands and those who reside in Hunyani Street and areas around Matongo have been experiencing extreme water shortages with some of the areas going for extended periods of time without supplies. However, the situation is set to change as Lafarge in Mabvuku has already put all logistics in place to provide Mabvuku residents with borehole water particularly those areas which are mostly affected.

Mbare Msika toilets have been a health hazard of late with the City of Harare not being able to provide adequate cleaning requirements for public toilets in Mbare and the city centre. This has prompted the association to launch a program which is aimed at cleaning most of the public toilets in Harare.

The much awaited dualisation of Mutare road is already in progress and will go a long way in improving congestion and reducing the occurrence of accidents. The dangerous part of the road nicknamed "11 months" has seen many people losing their lives in the past.

The health situation in Harare has greatly improved with Typhoid and Diarrhea cases dropping week after week.

Below is a summarized service delivery update of a few selected areas in Harare.
