New Ziana - The devolution funding programme initiated by the government has borne a lot of fruit in Chirumhanzu constituency in the Midlands Province where several boreholes have been drilled, and others repaired in different wards, among other things.
Besides drilling of new boreholes, the Devolution Fund has also helped in the rehabilitation of other important infrastructure, in a development which has benefited residents, schools and clinics.
Member of Parliament for Chirumhanzu Constituency, Barbra Rwodzi said the projects were being carried out under the Devolution Fund in an effort to provide water and other services in critical institutions like schools and clinics with maternity wards.
Apart from schools and clinics, Rwodzi said the boreholes will also benefit villagers who have been walking long distances to fetch water.
“One of our main objectives for the term is to ensure that villagers walk less than 2km to fetch water particularly women,” she said.
The legislator said there was a team currently deployed in the constituency drilling and repairing old boreholes.
A local company won the tender to drill boreholes in Chirumhanzu and has so far drilled boreholes in Ward 3, 8 and 9.
“Many thanks to other government departmental heads and their teams in the district that are supporting devolution projects in various ways that involve meetings on how funds should be disbursed, utilized, monitored and evaluated and providing other equipment,” Rwodzi said.
The Chirumhanzu MP said it is DDF and council’s responsibility to undertake such projects, but they were, however, facing challenges, hence her intervention.
“Nothing beats team spirit, let’s keep working relentlessly and diligently despite the prevailing challenges,” said Rwodzi.

Fact 1: Know Your Borehole Casings
The Preferred Borehole Casing In Zimbabwe Is Class 9 and 10 (Pressure Classes.)
This is because Class 9 and Class 10 Casings are more collapse resistant. The strength of a Casing is often described as collapse resistance.
Fact 2: Borehole Drilling Depth
The exact depth, of where the water is located, cannot be established by the drilling contractor nor the Water Surveyor (Borehole Siter).
Fact 3: There Is No 100% Guarantee
It is important to note that it is never a 100% guarantee that any hole will yield water, the amount and water quality can also not be guaranteed by the drilling contractor and water surveyor.
Fact 4: Siting Is Important
Making use of a hydrologist or traditional water diviner will increase your chances of having a successful borehole that will yield a sufficient amount of water.
Fact 5: Know The Risks
The risk of the borehole drilling lies with the property owner. The client will still be liable for the drilling costs irrespective of a borehole yielding water or not.
