Shurugwi district administrator Langton Mupeta said the development would address sewer reticulation problems faced by the mining town over the years.
“We have quite a number of land developers in Shurugwi, but the gesture by River Valley Properties to provide funds for the rehabilitation of the sewer system is highly commendable,” Mupeta said last week at the handover of the refurbished sewer pump station.
“It should also be noted that River Valley has also developed land for residential houses, hence the company is immensely contributing to the development of Shurugwi.”
River Valley chief executive Smelly Dube said her company would maintain the sewer pump station for the next 12 months.
She also revealed that the Magakooshla housing stands developed by River Valley had since been connected to the rehabilitated sewer system.
“We did not only improve the capacity and efficiency of the sewer system, but also connected our Magakooshla housing stands to the sewer system,” she said.
