Bulawayo City Council has said it will continue pushing government to declare the Bulawayo water shortage a disaster to enable mobilisation of donor assistance to alleviate the crisis.

According to latest council minutes, the city fathers said if the declaration is approved, it would enable council to appeal for donor funding and commandeer private borehole owners to share their water sources with the rest of the community.

In December last year, the city's Future Water Supplies and Water Action Committee approved recommendations  from the engineering services department to declare the city a water shortage area  and recommended that a request be made to Water Resources Management and Development minister Samuel Sipepa Nkomo to formalise the declaration in terms of Section 61 of the Water Act.
