After weeks of interruption due to the failure of all three pumps at the Kpeve Water Abstraction Plant, the management of Ghana Water Ltd (GWL) has announced that the water supply to the Ho Municipality in the Volta Region has been restored.
GWL verified that the issue has been fixed and that distribution has started up again in a statement released on Monday, February 10.
GWL deployed its technical teams, who worked tirelessly and around the clock to restore operations within the stipulated time of 48 hours, to set in motion the short-term solution outlined by the Managing Director, Hon. Adam Mutawakilu. The short-term measures also implemented include the provision of tanker services to essential service institutions.”
As part of its commitment to ensuring a stable water supply, GWL has procured two new pumps, expected to arrive in the country by the end of March as a medium-term solution.
In alignment with the government’s Water for All vision, GWL stated that steps are being taken to bridge the gap between water demand and supply.
“In line with the government’s vision of ‘Water for All’ and the goal of leaving no one behind in access to safe and sustainable water, the strategic long-term measures to address the growing disparity between water demand and supply are already underway, with a key focus on the planned expansion of the Kpeve Water Treatment Plant to enhance capacity and ensure sustainable water provision for the Ho Municipality and surrounding communities.”
