Management of the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) has hinted that there will be an interruption of water supply to the western part of the Greater Accra Region from Monday 13th September to Friday 17th September 2021.
According to the GWCL, its Engineers will be replacing some faulty valves on the main 900mm transmission pipelines which impede water flow and cause serious challenges in the distribution lines.
In a statement signed by its Chief Manager, PR, and Communication, Stanley Martey, it said "There are some leakages also within the supply area, causing GWCL to lose several volumes of water daily and consequently having a serious impact on the volumes available for consumption"
The statement further added that the Engineers will also take advantage of the shutdown to install some electromagnetic meters at the Weija Treatment Plant which will help in the company's drive to reduce non-revenue water.
The Management of GWCL appealed to consumers living in the Western part of Accra to store enough water for consumption during the period of the shutdown.
Affected areas include; Weija, Gbawe, Kasoa, Mallam, Sakaman, Odorkor, Dansoman, Mamprobi, Agege, Korle-Gonno, Korle-Bu, Laterbiokorshie, Mataheko, North Industrial Area, Kaneshie, Awudome Estates, North Kaneshie, Abeka Lapaz, Kwashieman, Anyaa, Santa Maria, Ablekuma, Alhaji, Tabora, Tesano, Dome, Taifa, Achimota, and surrounding communities.
The Management assured the general public that the necessary equipment, logistics, and personnel required to execute the project have been secured.
