Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) has assured the public that measures are being taken to address water shortages in parts of the country, including Tamale, Bimbilla, Kasoa, and Ho.
GWCL acknowledged the difficulties and is committed to restoring normal supply.
Ho has been particularly affected, straining essential institutions like hospitals and prisons, which are seeking alternative water sources.
In an interview with Accra-based Channel One TV, the Communications Manager, Stanley Martey, reassured residents that efforts were underway to resolve the crisis. For residents in Ho, Mr. Martey promised a stable water supply within a week, stating that the company was working tirelessly to normalise the situation nationwide.
“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.
Martey also warned against water theft, as it worsens the crisis for other residents. He urged the public to avoid stealing water to ensure fair distribution of the limited supply.
“We urge people to refrain from stealing water so that the limited supply can be distributed fairly. This will ensure that as many residents as possible have access to water and can sustain themselves during this difficult period,” he advised.
