Some communities in the Greater Accra Region will from today, Wednesday March 23, 2022, experience water shortage due to a temporary plant shutdown.
This is according to the Management of Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) in communique dated March 22 2022.
According to the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the water supplier, Stanley Martey, the interruption is due to an expansion work to be carried out at one of their production and distribution stations.
“Management of Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) wishes to inform its valued customers and the general public that the Weija Headworks will be temporarily shut down on Wednesday 23rd March, 2022 following a request by the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) Ltd to carry out expansion works at one of the stations that powers the Weija Raw Water Pumping Station.”
The communities to be affected include Kasoa, Weija, Mallam Junction, McCarthy Hill, Bortianor, Gbawe, Anyaa, Awoshie, Dansoman, Sakaman.
The others are Glefe, Odorkor, Mataheko, Mamprobi, Chorkor, Kaneshie, Akweteyman, Abeka-Lapaz, Nii Boi Town, Tesano, Achimota, Accra Central business district, parts of Ministries and surrounding areas.
GWCL has therefore urged its customers to store enough water ahead of the shutdown of the plant.
