Zimbabwe Launches Crackdown on Illegal Bulk Water Dealers
The nationwide operation seeks to regulate the water delivery sector and protect public health, according to the Zimbabwe National Water Authority (ZINWA).
The crackdown addresses public complaints about unregulated water abstraction and delivery in urban areas, which authorities say pose health risks and violate national regulations.
The blitz aligns with the law, requiring all bulk water dealers, including borehole operators and water delivery truckers, to be registered, ZINWA's Head of Corporate Communications and Marketing, Marjorie Munyonga, told local media.
It is illegal to abstract raw water from residential areas without specific authority, Munyonga noted, adding that ZINWA is empowered to collect water samples for quality checks and requires accurate abstraction records from suppliers.
