Victoria Falls Municipality has embarked on water disconnections in violation of a recent High Court ruling that such action is illegal without a court order. Residents in Mfelandawonye suburb in Ward 11 had their water disconnected on Friday for failure to settle outstanding rates.
Those targeted owe hundreds of dollars while some defaulted in the payment plans entered into a few months ago. When contacted by The Chronicle for a comment municipality Chamber Secretary Ms Kholwani Mangena said:
Those currently affected are mainly the non-responsive clients who do not come to make payment plans as well as those who are not paying anything towards their monthly consumption and those who have defaulted on their payment plans.
