Good morning. I have been trying to phone you but your land lines appear to be out of order. ACM contractors along with Zimplats pumped out 708000L of water from our dam over the long weekend 20th – 26th May. They insister that they had a permit from you but we were not able to check this as office closed. Please can you contact us & let us know whether these people will be fined & how we can get compensation. Mr Goremusande is the ZINWA permit inspector for the area.

what are the strategies employed by sanyati catchment area
need to know the strategies that you employ in the delivery of water services,number and category of connected clients,number of not yet connected clients,particularly in the two gokwes.
Can you please formally request that information on callcentre@zinwa.co.zw and state the purpose for which the information will be used.
I am a resident of Beatrice Manyame area. Am concerned with the challenges in new water connections, they can’t connect us water because they are waiting for new pre-paid water meters and it’s been while waiting. Wasnt it wise to wait till the prepaid meters are in their possession rather than delaying the new water connections.
We are sorry about that experience. Have you been connected now?
Why are there so few details on Sanyati catchment compared with the others? What is the total catchment area and number of sub-catchments?
My name is Ramington Jarijari a journalist with The Times in Gweru.
I will appreciate if you can provide us with regular updates of your activities so that we can share with our valued readers in our weekly newspapers.
We are also interested with the prepaid water meters project in your catchment area.
Noted, we will do so.
