The Ghana Water Company Limited has attributed the water challenges faced by residents in some areas within Tema to the power failure of the Kpone distilling plant.
Speaking to Nana Yaw Abrompah on Plan B FM morning show NKOSUONSEM, the Public Relation Officer at GWCL, Mr Sampson Ampah cited challenges with the Kpone desalination plant coupled with others as reasons for the irregular supply of water to some Communities within the Tema enclave.
The areas in question have been without water for weeks and in some cases more.
Mr. Sampson Ampah has assured residents within the affected communities that the water company is working assiduously to resolve the challenge.
“It is as a result of the power failure of the Kpone distilling plant that supplies Tema and its environs but our engineers together with the ECG, have resolved it and some residents have already got water just that it will take time before those at hilly areas will get their share because it needs pressure to pump to those areas.”
“We also hope that the frequent breakages of our lines would cease. We would apologize to the people living in that area because we know the challenges they have been through, but we are still working hard so they can get a regular flow of water,” he added.
Mr. Ampah then cautioned plumbers not to take the law into their hands and tap or connect water to residents without consent from Ghana Water Company Limited because it is illegal to do that, he added.
