Zimbabwe's second largest city of Bulawayo has asked residents to flush their toilets at 7:30pm precisely on Mondays and Thursdays to help prevent sewer pipes from bursting. Two out of five supply dams for Bulawayo have dried up because of drought, and the lack of water in the sewage pipes has already led some pipes to burst. Bulawayo Mayor Thaba Moyo said that synchronizing flushes will keep water in sewer pipes and prevent them from becoming clogged.
