Bindura Municipality provides the following services to the community- arable water, sewerage, fire and ambulance services, refuse collection and town planning services. It came a time when Bindura Municipality failed to provide the said services. There was erratic water supply, there was no water running from the tapes they had gone dry. The residents had resorted to boreholes for water. That also saw the cholera outbreak in Bindura.

There was sewerage flowing all over the town. The sewer reticulation system had broken down. The waste was no longer flowing to the sewerage ponds. There refuse was no longer being collected. Council had old tractors which were always down. Residents used to dump refuse anywhere.

The municipality no longer had service delivery services. The residents no longer had trust with the municipality and no longer paying bills. There was no public participation by residents.

Bindura bought service delivery vehicles for service delivery. The council also partnered with UNICEF and rehabilated the water treatment plant and the water pumps. They hired an excavator to open the blocked drains. UNICEF also engaged a company which cleared the sewerage ponds and sewer reticulation was restored.

The municipality also bought two refuse compactors for refuse removal. The WASH programmes in the wards also managed to restore the trust and relationship between council and residents.
