KWEKWE City Council has taken the Zimbabwe National Water Authority (Zinwa) to court for cutting off water supplies to the town over a $1,5 million debt without a court order.

Kwekwe City Council, through its lawyers Mutatu and Partners, filed an urgent chamber application at the Bulawayo High Court citing Zinwa as the respondent.

The council seeks an order directing Zinwa to restore full water supply to the town forthwith pending the finalisation of a court application for declaratur filed under case number HC1349/17 at the Bulawayo High Court.

The local authority also wants Zinwa to be interdicted from interfering with water supplies until the matter before the court is finalised.

The Midlands city has been without running water since last week forcing residents to resort to unprotected water sources.
