The Kumasi metropolis will experience a temporary disruption in water supply starting today due to essential maintenance work being carried out at the Barekese water treatment plant.
This maintenance is part of the ongoing efforts by the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) to ensure a reliable and consistent water supply for residents in the area.
Beginning from October 23 to 24, 2024, GWCL will conduct critical repairs on the main transmission line that serves the Kumasi metropolis.
This decision comes in response to the need for upgrades and preventive maintenance to sustain the quality and availability of water services to the community.
The GWCL explained, “The maintenance work is essential to ensure the continued supply of water to the Kumasi metropolis.”
This proactive approach underscores the company’s commitment to maintaining infrastructure that is crucial for public health and well-being.
The GWCL advised residents of Kumasi to take the necessary precautions during this period of maintenance.
Specifically, it is recommended that households store sufficient water to meet their needs during the anticipated disruption.
GWCL acknowledged that this maintenance may cause some inconvenience, and in light of this, the company is making efforts to minimize the impact on consumers.
The GWCL management has assured the public that water supply will be restored promptly following the completion of the maintenance work.
GWCL encouraged residents to adopt good water management practices, particularly in light of the temporary disruption.
“Management regrets the inconvenience this may cause and assures customers that supply will be restored immediately after the work is completed,” the statement added.
