"Bulawayo
City Council has asked its more than 1 million residents to flush their
toilets simultaneously at 7:30 p.m. when water supplies are restored.
City officials say "synchronized flushing" is needed to clear waste that
would have accumulated in sanitary facilities which will have been
affected by days of water outages.
Bulawayo's
two main supply dams have been drying up because of drought conditions
prevailing in the arid, southwestern part of Zimbabwe, raising fears of
worsening water shortages before the rainy season starts in November.
Synchronized
flushing was first introduced to Bulawayo two decades ago at the height
of a drought that ravaged the southern African nation.
Residents
told The Associated Press late Saturday that they weren't "aware" of
the new system the city council was proposing. They said the whole issue
wasn't properly communicated to them.
Old
water pipes have not been replaced in years which saw world record
inflation before the formation of a coalition government between
longtime President Robert Mugabe and Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai."
I guess this doesn't have anything to do with the Internet, unless they were emailing people with a request to flush. But this otherwise fits the pattern of ICA; a simple project a mass of people do together, and when the project is done, that's it.
