PUBLIC NOTICE:- ALIGNMENT OF TARIFF CHARGES TO THE CURRENT ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

The City Of Bulawayo wishes to advise its valued stakeholders, residents and customers that due to prevailing economic conditions such as changes in the exchange rate, there have been substantial increases in the prices of key service delivery inputs namely fuel, water and waste water treatment chemicals, medicines, stationery and spare parts among others.

This has rendered the current Council charges inadequate thereby necessitating an urgent alignment of tariffs to input costs in order to alleviate service delivery collapse.

Residents are advised that all Council charges have been translated to the USD value on the date of approval of the 2022 Budget. The tariffs shall be translated at the rulinbg rate on the date of billing with effect from 1 June 2022.

Residents and stakeholders are encouraged to contact Council Revenue Offices for the updated changes on their properties.
