Vic Falls Council, Residents Rates Dispute Persists

By Matabeleland North Correspondent Victoria Falls: Tension between city council and residents continues after the parties have failed to find common ground on what the latter finds as exorbitant water charges imposed for this year by the local authority. Council last month effected a 400 percent increase in water and service charges resulting in residents petitioning councillors for engagement. Victoria Falls City Council’s 2021 budget is close to US$5 million. Residents said they had received water bills of about $4 000 last month and feared they will not be able to meet the payments. Residents complained the rates were too high especially at a time the tourism town was on its knees because of the hardships brought by the Covid-19 pandemic and the resultant closure of the lucrative industry.
