Efforts at addressing the water shortage in Accra have intensified with the drilling and mechanisation of 13 boreholes in the national capital and its environs.
The Minister of Water Resources, Works and Housing, Mr Boniface Abubakar Saddique, who announced this at the Meet-the-Press series in Accra yesterday, said work on six of the borehole at Tantra Hill, Dome and Ashongman would be com¬pleted in two weeks' time, adding that when com¬pleted, water supply to those areas would be consid¬erably improved.
Other high-yielding boreholes, notably those at Frafraha and Dodowa, he added, were to be mechanised to boost supply to Adenta and its environs.
Mr Saddique said for areas such as Teshie, La, La Polyclinic, Osu, Cantonments, Ridge, Nungua and other vulnerable localities, steps were underway install jumbo water containers at identified areas direct delivery through tankers.
"Particular locations in these areas have been mapped out for this intervention to begin and it will continue for as long as it is registered”, he added.
