The Dangme West District had been included in the Three Districts’ Water Project under which it would enjoy about 85 percent supply of potable water when completed.
Mr Michael Teye Adjorwerh-Nortey, District Chief Executive (DCE) who disclosed this to the Ghana News Agency at Dodowa on Thursday noted that the two other districts to benefit from the project were North and South Tongu.
Speaking on his achievements since he took office in August 2005 as DCE, Mr. Adjorwerh-Nortey said water has been extended from Odomse to Fiakonyasota and its surrounding villages with the help of Non-Governmental Organisations and philanthropists.
He said Dodowa and its environs were supplied with water by the Ghana Water Company (GWC), and that other areas like Ningo, Prampram and Dawhenya were already enjoying good drinking water from the GWC.
He said the Osudoku Water Project that started in September 2006 with funding from DANIDA, had been completed.
Mr Adjorwerh-Nortey explained that as a result of those interventions, the district had not experienced the outbreak of water-borne diseases, like bilharzia and guinea worm for the past three years.
On Electricity the DCE said 13 communities in the district, were benefiting from electricity under the China Water and Electricity Contract awarded by the Ministry of Energy.
He assured communities like Ayikuma-Alikope, Jerusalem-Asutsuare Junction, Agotor-Huapa, Dofor-Adakope and Oyikum that they had been included in the Special Greater Accra Regional Programme, and that they would be connected to the National Grid before the end of the year.
