Minister for Sanitation and Water Resources, Lydia Alhassan, has directed the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) to deploy water tankers to several communities in Accra facing water supply issues.
This comes after the company attributed the supply issues to a major pipe burst in Dodowa, which supplies water to the affected communities.
During the minister’s visit to the site of the burst pipe, she reprimanded the GWCL for failing to communicate with customers and demanded they provide clear explanations for the water shortages.
Mrs Alhassan instructed the company to provide temporary water supplies to these communities while they worked on resolving the issue.
The GWCL assured the minister that the water supply problem would be resolved within 24 hours.
In addition, the minister stated that measures will be implemented nationwide to ensure continuous water supply.
