Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) has urged residents grappling with water shortages to remain calm, assuring them that urgent measures are being implemented to resolve the situation.

The company acknowledged the difficulties communities are facing and reiterated its dedication to restoring a consistent water supply as swiftly as possible.

Several towns, including Tamale, Bimbilla, Kasoa, and Ho, have suffered extended water shortages, disrupting daily routines.

In Ho, the crisis has worsened, putting immense pressure on vital institutions like hospitals and prisons, which have been compelled to seek alternative water sources to continue operations.

Speaking to Channel One TV’s Adwoa Tenkorama, GWCL Communications Manager Stanley Martey reassured residents that steps were being taken to address the problem.

He specifically guaranteed that Ho’s water supply would stabilize within a week, stressing that the company was working tirelessly to restore normalcy across all affected regions.

"We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused, but as we have stated, we are working around the clock to restore supply. By the end of the week, we expect the situation to improve within the municipality," he stated.

He added that a backup water pump had been serviced and was ready for use, while another was scheduled for installation by Thursday.

"Having two standby pumps will serve as a short-term solution to this challenge," he added.

Mr. Martey also condemned unauthorized water usage, highlighting that it aggravates the shortage for other residents.
