Some parts have started receiving water after close to 20 years without accessing the precious liquid.
The areas include Rolf Valley and some parts of Ballantyne Park, among others.
This comes after a partnership between the City of Harare and Helcraw Water Private Limited.
In a statement, the City of Harare said their partnership with Helcraw has been on a massive pipe replacement scheme while at the same time installing smart water meters.
Corporate Communications Manager, Stanley Gama, said the city will strive to make sure that as many areas as possible get water as the partnership between the City of Harare and Helcraw flourishes.
“We face some challenges with water supply due to pipe bursts and ageing infrastructure, but efforts are underway to address these issues.
“With the coming in of Helcraw, we are on an upward trajectory in terms of water production and distribution.
“Together with Helcraw, we want to make sure that the whole value chain is attended to for the benefit of residents.
“Firstly, we are carrying out major repair works at Morton Jaffray Water Plant to make sure that we produce 520 mega litres a day.
“Then we are installing new water pipes and smart water meters.
“We are simply saying that water production has to improve, old pipes have to be replaced, and smart water meters have to be installed to make sure residents pay for only what they use.
“Water meters are also helping improve water supplies in the sense that residents are no longer using as much water as they used to before, which means more water will be available to those who usually faced challenges getting it,” said Gama.
So far, over 45000 smart water meters have been installed.
