Marondera Municipality is working on stepping up service delivery and upgrading infrastructure after taking delivery of equipment sourced using devolution funds.
The council allocated was $8,1 million in 2019 and $5,4 million last year.
So far, council has purchased six water bowsers and a grader, installed three new modular water storage tanks and drilled 17 boreholes to mitigate water challenges in the town.
