private partnership to increase revenue .Literature review was given with regard to the potential

revenue sources. An investigation by use of questionnaires and interviews, to get the opinion of

employees at ZINWA with regard to the adoption of new revenue sources was conducted .The

design that was utilized is descriptive. A sample consisting of 24 respondences was drawn and

questionnaires were given them .Interview were given a sample of 5 respondences .Based on the

contributions by the respondences, the revenue generation was low due and inadequate to cater

for both capital and revenue expenditure. Noted from the research, ZINWA was mainly affected

reconnections of water supply. Results showed that ZINWA should adopt aquaculture to widen

its revenue generating capacity.
