Morero has addressed residents at a community hall in Corronationville.
“We are making a commitment that with all the interventions we are going to be implementing here, in the next seven days you will have full supply of water. To get the levels high that means we need another seven days, but we are saying to you, over and above (that), we are going to try to switch off other areas at night to try and push the water to try and reduce that seven days,” says Morero.
