The sudden infestation of the Lonehill Dam by Kariba weed is being dealt with by the LRA environmental team led by Doug Black. The LRA is also working with City Parks in order to contain the spread of this weed and return our Dam to it?s previous clear state.
The Dam has been subjected recently to a huge sewage spill from a broken sewage pipe in Upper Lonehill and is now being dosed regularly with EM (Effective Micro-organism) in an attempt to clear and purify the water.
The LRA is also waiting on a tender result from City Parks which will enable them to install new fountains which will aerate the water to help maintain the health of the dam.
