The Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) has officially announced a temporary disruption in water supply flowing from the Kpong water treatment plant.

This interruption is scheduled to occur from Sunday, September 24, through Thursday, September 28, 2023.

The purpose of this interruption is to facilitate the necessary rehabilitation of the primary transmission pipeline that connects the Kpong treatment facility to the eastern sector of Accra.

Residents in the following areas should take note of the impending disruption: Gbetsile, Afienya, Zenu, Prampram, Mataheko, Katamanso, Dawhenya, Sakumono, Batsonaa, Klagon, Tema Township, Adjei Kojo, Borteyman, Santeo, and the surrounding vicinities.

In a statement, the GWCL explained that the main 42-inch transmission pipeline had become weak and prone to frequent failures since April 2021, resulting in water and revenue losses for the company due to high volumes and pressure in the pipeline.

“The work involved in changing the pipeline is capital intensive; therefore, Management has resolved to change the weak portions of the line to reduce cost and to maintain the integrity of the transmission pipeline. This repair work will also reduce the inconvenience of frequent interruption of supply to customers and ensure long-term reliability of water supply.”

“GWCL is, therefore, entreating customers in the above-stated areas to store enough water during the period in which the works will be carried out.

Meanwhile, management has assured customers that water supply will resume as soon as the works are completed, and they deeply regret any inconvenience this may cause to the public.
