Residential Water Delivery in Harare

When the taps stop and the tank is low, a household needs water the same day, not a quotation next week. This is the everyday service most of our customers use.

Working out how much your household needs

The honest answer is that it depends on how many people are in the house and how carefully you are using water while supply is unreliable. As a rough planning figure, a household of four using water carefully for drinking, cooking, washing and sanitation will move through somewhere in the region of 400 to 600 litres a day. Normal unrestricted use, with laundry, long showers and a garden, runs well above that.

On those numbers, a 2,500 litre delivery covers a careful household of four for roughly four to five days, and a 5,000 litre delivery for eight to ten. Treat those as planning estimates for your own household rather than a promise, because consumption varies enormously between properties.

Which load to order

The 2,500 litre load at US$30 suits a top-up, a smaller property, a cottage, or a household bridging a short interruption. The 5,000 litre load at US$50 is better value per litre and is the right order when you are filling an empty tank, running a larger household, or you expect the supply problem to last.

If your storage is a standard 5,000 litre Jojo that has run dry, order the 5,000 litre load. Filling it in one delivery costs less than two 2,500 litre deliveries and saves you arranging access twice.

Getting your property ready

  • Clear vehicles and obstructions from the driveway so a rigid tanker can get in and out.
  • Know your tank capacity, so you order a volume it can actually hold.
  • Check the tank inlet is accessible and the lid can be opened.
  • If the tank is behind the house or up a slope, say so when you order, so we bring enough hose.
  • Make sure someone will be on site who can open the gate and point out the tank.
  • If the tank is empty and has stood open, give it a rinse before we fill it.

Boreholes that no longer keep up

A large share of Harare households now run on a borehole rather than a council connection, and that changes what goes wrong. Rather than a supply cut, the failure is gradual: yield drops through the dry season, the pump runs longer for less, and the tank stops recovering overnight.

Bulk delivery is what covers that gap. Many of our residential customers are not in an emergency at all, they simply top up the tank on a rhythm that suits the property until the rains return.

Questions

Residential Water Delivery — frequently asked questions

How much water does a household need per day?

As a planning figure, a household of four using water carefully for drinking, cooking, washing and sanitation typically uses around 400 to 600 litres a day. Unrestricted use with laundry and a garden is considerably higher. Use this to estimate, then order the volume your tank can hold.

How long will a 5,000 litre delivery last a family?

For a careful household of four, roughly eight to ten days. Actual duration depends entirely on how many people are in the house and how the water is used.

Can you fill a Jojo tank?

Yes. Poly storage tanks are what we discharge into most often. Tell us the capacity when you order so we send a volume the tank can hold.

Do I need to be at home for the delivery?

Someone should be on site to open the gate, point out the tank and confirm the delivery. If that is difficult, tell us when you order and we will work out an arrangement.
