Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) has assured the public of swift measures to address the water shortage being experienced in parts of the country.
The company has acknowledged the difficulties and reiterated its commitment to restoring normal supply as soon as possible.
Several areas, including Tamale, Bimbilla, Kasoa, and Ho, have endured severe water shortages for weeks, significantly disrupting daily activities.
In Ho, the situation has become particularly dire, placing immense pressure on essential institutions such as hospitals and prisons, which have been forced to seek alternative sources of water to maintain operations.
In an interview with Accra-based Channel One TV, the Communications Manager, Stanley Martey, reassured residents that efforts were underway to resolve the crisis. For residents in Ho, Mr. Martey promised a stable water supply within a week, stating that the company was working tirelessly to normalise the situation nationwide.
“We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused, but as we have stated, we are working around the clock to restore supply. By the end of the week, we expect the situation to improve within the municipality,” he stated.
He further revealed that a spare water pump had been treated and was on standby, with another expected to be installed by Thursday. However, Mr. Martey warned against water theft, stressing that such actions worsen the crisis for other residents.
“We urge people to refrain from stealing water so that the limited supply can be distributed fairly. This will ensure that as many residents as possible have access to water and can sustain themselves during this difficult period,” he advised.
