The Management of Ghana Water Limited (GWL) will begin a two-day maintenance work of one of the Plants in Kpong which serves the Krobo-Somanya area in the Eastern region.
This according to Ghana Water will result in the shutdown of the plant for works to begin from February 14 to 15, 2024.
Affected communities include Somanya, the entire Krobo area, and some surrounding areas.
Ghana Water Limited noted that the temporary closure is necessary to facilitate the installation of a new interconnection pipeline and foot valves at the Kpong Water Treatment Plant (WTP) which will intend to increase its capacity by approximately 3 million gallons per day (mgd).
In a statement, GWL acknowledged the inconveniences this may cause and assured the public that its team of engineers will work diligently within the estimated time frame to restore water supply to affected communities.
Also, management has urged all essential service providers, particularly hospitals and schools in the area, to ensure they have adequate water storage arrangements for the duration of the shutdown.
Meanwhile, Ghana Water Limited has put in place alternative arrangements to mitigate the impact of the shutdown, and consumers are encouraged to communicate with their community leaders, assemblymen, and unit committee members in case of emergencies.
