On 16 and 17 Novemeber 2018 Chegutu Municipality participated in the Inter- Cities sports festival which was hosted by Ruwa Town Council. The festival was held at the Chiremba Primary School grounds and Thorncroft Primary school.

Chegutu Municipality has been afflicted by water-bone diseases such as Cholera and Typhoid, mainly due to aged water infrastructure. Most of the water pipes were installed more than 50 years ago and were now characterized by frequent pipe bursts, thereby creating conditions for cross contamination of Municipal water with effluent.At the same time, Council's water account has not been performing due to dysfunctional water meters. As such, billing for water consumption has not been yielding any significant revenue to Council for plough-back into water rehabilitation projects. These circumstances prompted Council to appeal for financial assistance from Government to address water availability challenges. Government accordingly heeded Council's plea and availed a loan of $1 million through the 2018 national budget. The loan was made available through the Infrastructure Development Bank of Zimbabwe (IDBZ) and was specifically allocated for purchase and installation of water meters and rehabilitation of the water supply network.
