The Barekese Water Treatment Plant is planned to shut down, according to the Ashanti Region’s Ghana Water Limited (GWL) management.
Monday, March 17, 2025, through Wednesday, March 19, 2025, is when the shutdown is scheduled to occur.
In order to construct new connecting pipelines and foot valves at the Suame roundabout, which should improve the city’s water supply, a temporary pause in operations is required.
Offinso, the entire Kumasi Metropolis, and the surrounding areas are among the impacted localities, and GWL noted in a statement the inconvenience this may create.
However, the Management has assured the public that their dedicated team of engineers will work diligently within the estimated time frame to restore water supply.
“This measure is in line with GWL’s commitment to enhance the water supply capacity from the Barekese Water Treatment Plant to improve water service delivery and address the supply challenges in the metropolis,” the statement read.
GWL has urged all essential service providers, particularly hospitals and schools in the area, to ensure they have adequate storage for the duration of the shutdown.
The Management of GWL expressed deep regret for the inconvenience caused but pleaded with consumers to bear with the situation, emphasising that the project aims to improve the overall water services provided to the public.
