Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Residents in the Geneva section of Highfield, Harare, have said raw sewage has been flowing into their homesteads for decades.<\/p>\n

They say the city council is failing to come up with a lasting solution to a problem that is posing a serious health hazard.<\/p>\n

Their case is not unique as many other high-density suburbs including Warren Park, Kambuzuma and Glenview continue to raise concerns over a potential health hazard as sewage bursts have become a common feature.<\/p>\n

Residents in the Geneva section of Highfield say sewage is making it difficult for them to go about their everyday lives. A resident told ZBC News:<\/p>\n

It has become an everyday problem as we live in such a place where raw sewage has become the order of the day. City council should come up with a lasting solution to the problem.<\/p>\n

City council should come and change the pipes because originals the pipes were meant to service a few people, but now the population has increased and so they should fix the problem.<\/p>\n

City of Harare Spokesperson, Mr Michael Chideme acknowledged the challenge and said the city fathers often attend to calls made by residents and fix or change faulty pipes.<\/p>\n

The Harare City Council has over the years continued to fall short on service delivery as sewage bursts, uncollected garbage and unavailability of water in some parts of Harare remain a challenge.<\/p>\n

The local government authority cites a shortage of financial resources as the main challenge and urges ratepayers to religiously pay bills.<\/p>\n
