Some residents in the national capital, Accra are in dire need of portal water for drinking and for other house chores.
The situation according to the Ghana Water Company Limited, (GWCL) is due to the increasing population but a lack of money to fix the challenge.
Addressing the issue of inconsistent water on the Citi Breakfast Show on Monday, January 22, Ing. Braimah acknowledged the need for the GWCL to upgrade its machinery to meet the increasing demands of Accra’s residents.
“Already in Accra, the volume of water we produce, the population has outgrown it, and we are looking at putting up a new system at Kpone to boost our production but resource constraint has been the problem, Since 2017, 2018, we have been working and we have not settled on finances.
“So already if you have a limited volume of water coming into the system, and your population is big, you have to block them and supply them according to the demands of the people but you cannot give everybody [water] at the same times otherwise some will not get. And so we have been limited for a very long time.”
Complaints from residents of the Ghana Water Company Limited suggest an adverse impact on daily lives, forcing some to resort to purchasing water from tankers at exorbitant prices.
Some affected communities are Adenta, Kasoa, Weija, and Apaapa in La.
