The project forms part of efforts by GWCL to improve system performance to meet the ever-growing customer needs.
The Managing Director of the Ghana Water Company Limited, (GWCL), Dr Clifford Braimah, disclosed this in Tema yesterday (July 6) at a stakeholders meeting with representatives of industrial and commercial water users in Tema.
He explained that the increasing population and industries without a commensurate investment in water treatment and distribution had resulted in a shortfall in supply.

Some assembly members at Tema Manhean in the Tema Metropolitan Assembly (TMA) have bemoaned the inadequate supply of potable water in their communities.
Contributing to discussions at the first ordinary meeting of the First Session of the Eighth General Assembly Meeting of the TMA, some of the assembly members said for the past eight to nine months, they had not had regular flow of water through their taps.
They said urgent steps needed to be taken to regularly provide potable water for people in their communities.
The Assembly Member for Bankuman, Mr Alfred Borkor, lamented the unavailability of potable water in the northern part of his electoral area for the past eight months, saying he had to provide huge storage tanks and buy water from tankers to serve his community on a regular basis.
