The Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) announced the interruption of water supply to the western part of the Greater Accra region from September 13 to 17, 2021.
The areas considered to be the hardest hit are Weija, Gbawe, Kasoa, Mallam, Sakaman, Odorkor, Dansoman, Mamprobi, Agege, Korle-Gorno, Korle-Bu, Laterbiokorshie, Mataheko, North Industrial Area.
The other areas are Kaneshie, Awudome Estates, North Kaneshie, Abeka La Paz, Quarshieman, Anyaa, Santa Maria, Ablekuma, Alhaji, Tabora, Tesano, Dome, Taifa, Achimota and the surrounding communities.
A statement from the company said its engineers would replace some faulty valves on the main 900mm transmission pipelines, hampering water flow and causing serious problems for distribution lines.
He also indicated that there were leaks in the supply area, causing GWCL to lose several volumes of water per day and therefore having a serious impact on the volumes available for consumption.
“GWCL engineers will also take advantage of the shutdown to install electromagnetic meters at the Weija processing plant, which will help the company reduce unbilled water,” he added.
The company pleaded with consumers in Accra, “especially consumers in the western part of the metropolis, to store enough water for consumption during the shutdown period.”
The GWCL assured that the water supply would resume as soon as the repair work is completed, adding that it has put in place measures to serve the affected areas.
