Several areas in the country's capital will observe a disruption in the supply of water by the Ghana Water Limited (GWL).

This is due to the closure of the Weija Treatment Plant, which would allow engineers of the GWL to undertake repair work on major pipelines supplying water to the western parts of Accra.

The affected areas include Korle-Bu, Dansoman, Mamprobi, parts of Weija, Gbawe, Malam, Anyaa, Kwashieman, Ablekuma, and Darkuman.

The others are Kaneshie, Tesano, Odorkor, Sowutuom, Lapaz, parts of Achimota, North Industrial Area, and adjoining communities.

The shutdown, which began at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, July 2, is expected to last until 5:00 p.m.

Management of GWL has assured that its engineers are on site working hard to ensure that the work is completed on schedule.”

It has apologised to the general public and the residents in the areas affected for the inconvenience caused.

Residents and businesses in the affected areas are advised to make alternative water arrangements during the repair period.

It is unknown whether the notice issued by the GWL on July 2 was received on time by the residents.

Those who may have gotten the notice late might not be able to put in the necessary measures to ensure they access water, taking into consideration financial constraints.

This means some households and business will experience water shortages and may not be able to undertake their day-to-day activities.
