The Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) says, there has been an interruption in water supply affecting large parts of Eastern Greater Accra since Sunday, August 25, 2024.
The disruption, caused by a burst in the transmission line from the Kpong Treatment plant to the Dodowa Booster Station, has left numerous communities without regular water service.
“This occurred due to a burst on the transmission line from the Kpong Treatment plant to the Dodowa Booster Station, affecting the Northeastern part of the metropolis. After the repair work was completed, other challenges were identified on the same transmission line which necessitated another shutdown”.
Areas impacted include Dodowa, Oyibi, Frafraha, Adenta, Madina, Ashongman, Haatso, La, Osu, Kanda, Airport Residential Area, Legon, and surrounding neighborhoods.
GWCL engineers are working tirelessly to replace a weak section of the transmission line, with repairs expected to be completed by Wednesday, August 28, 2024.
“GWCL Engineers are working around the clock to replace the weak session of the transmission line for supply to resume”.
A statement by GWCL, state that it has implemented emergency measures to mitigate the impact on residents. Water tankers are being deployed to serve essential service providers such as hospitals and schools. The company urges affected consumers to manage their stored water carefully until supply resumes.
“The Public is assured that, barring any unforeseen predicament, the project will be completed by close of day of Wednesday 28th August 2024 and supply will resume immediately the project is completed. Meanwhile, the company has put in place measures to serve the affected areas so the impact will not be adverse”.
GWCL Management has expressed regret for the inconvenience caused and assures the public that every effort is being made to resolve the issue promptly.
