Minister for Sanitation and Water Resources, Lydia Alhassan, has instructed the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) to send water tankers to several communities in Accra that are experiencing water shortages.
This directive follows the company’s explanation that the supply issues are due to a significant pipe burst in Dodowa, which affects the water distribution to the impacted areas.
When she payed a visit to the site of the pipe burst, Mrs. Alhassan criticized GWCL for their lack of communication with customers and demanded clear explanations regarding the water shortages.
She instructed the company to deliver temporary water supplies to the impacted communities while they work on resolving the issue.
The GWCL assured her that the water supply problem would be resolved within 24 hours.
Furtherance to this, the minister announced that nationwide measures would be implemented to ensure a reliable water supply.
