MANAGEMENT of Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) has announced to the general public, particularly its valued customers being served by the Kpong Treatment Plant, that there will be an interruption in water supply from Sunday 24th September to Thursday 28th September, 2023 to enable engineers of GWCL work on the transmission pipeline.
The areas that will be affected by this exercise include Gbetsile, Afienya, Zenu, Prampram, Mataheko, Katamanso, Dawhenya, Sakumono, Batsonaa, Klagon, Tema Township, Adjei Kojo, Borteyman, Santeo and surrounding areas.
In a press statement issued by the Communication Manager of GWCL, Mr Stanley Martey, the company noted the exercise was part of its efforts to rehabilitate the main transmission pipeline from the Kpong Treatment Plant to the eastern part of Accra.
In April 2021, the statement noted that the GWCL announced to the public, that the main 42-inch transmission pipeline was weak and as a result gave way frequently due to the high volumes and pressure in the pipeline thereby making the company lose a lot of water and revenue.
According to the statement, the works 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.
It noted that this repair work will also reduce the inconvenience of frequent interruption of supply to customers and to ensure a long-term reliability of water supply.
