Ghana Water Limited (GWL) has urged residents of Cape Coast, Elmina, and surrounding communities to use drinking water wisely as efforts continue to improve the quality of raw water sources.

In a statement dated October 2, 2024, GWL's Central Regional Office reported that the Sekyere Hemang Water Treatment Plant has seen a reduction in water turbidity levels, now averaging 9,000 NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Units), down from 14,000 NTU. This improvement is credited to the Central Regional Security Council, led by Regional Minister Mrs. Justina Marigold Assan.

As a result of these efforts, water production at the plant has increased from 1.98 million gallons per day to 2.77 million gallons per day. Despite this progress, GWL emphasized the importance of using water wisely to ensure adequate supply for all residents.

The Central Regional Security Council is actively working to enhance the quality of the raw water source, and GWL has committed to keeping the public informed of any significant changes that might affect water supply.

GWL expressed gratitude for the support received from the Regional Security Council and reiterated its commitment to providing reliable water services to the region.Read the statement below
