The Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) on Tuesday started pumping water from the Kpong Treatment Plant through its 42 inches’ diameter pipelines after completion of repair works.
GWCL therefore assured residents of Tema and its environs who had lived without water flowing through their taps during the replacement of 120 metres of its aged steel pipe from Thursday April 22, to Sunday April 25, 2021 that the situation would return to normalcy.
Two days after the completion of the repair works, residents in the affected areas were yet to get water; leading them to source for water from tankers while some benevolent churches and assembly men also provided water to them.
