The Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) has indicated it will restore the supply of water to Accra by Monday noon.
Ghana Water Company closed down the treatment plant which supplies more than half of the drinking water to Accra for maintenance.
The Chief Manager in charge of Public Relations at the GWCL, Michael Agyeman in an interview with Citi News said the general public should expect the flow of water through the taps by close of day Monday.
”… at the moment, we have finished with the work and we are just waiting for the concrete works to dry a little bit; i have been told by the engineers that by 12 o’clock we will start pumping water from the Weija treatment plant,” he said.
According to him, water will flow to ”so many areas in the city” by close of day today.
Mr.Agyemenag also told Citi News, the restoration of water had delayed because ”just when we restarted that treatment plant on Friday, we realised that there were leakages along where we replaced the faulty lines”.
He noted that work has been completed totally now.
The Weija treatment plant, located west of the city was closed on Friday to allow the GWCL instal production meter and also to replace a faulty section on the transmission line at a place called Kokroko near Awoshie junction.
The plant has the capacity to process about 60 million gallons a day.
