Health Minister David Parirenyatwa said that borehole water Harare must be tested as it could be contaminated.
Said Parirenyatwa:
People should be wary that all borehole water could be contaminated. As such, every borehole in Harare should be tested so that people avoid drinking contaminated water.
Parirenyatwa’s comments come after reports of a typhoid outbreak which has so far claimed two lives while many others are being treated after drinking water from a contaminated borehole. The minister also added that because of the outbreak, people should now boil all their water regardless of the source.
