The Ghana Plumbers Association (GPA), is working towards the provision of a borehole to serve the Denchira Asabaham Township, in the Greater Accra Region.
Mr Joshua Nyamevor, President of the Association said the initiative was to mark this year’s World Plumbing Day.
“This is to mark our Day and help in the reduction of community water crises and sanitation challenges,” he said.
Speaking at a press conference to mark Day on the theme; “Serving our communities with professionalism,” Mr Nyamevor said the project was at the consultative stage with stakeholders in the community and would be completed in three months.
Rotary Club of Accra Labone last Saturday unveiled a borehole facility at the Alavanyo community in the Ga South Municipal District.
The club as part of its 20th-anniversary celebrations initiated the project to address the considerable water challenge in the community.
The Alavanyo community located in the Danchira electoral area which previously fetched water from an unsafe and stagnant puddle will now draw water from a mechanized borehole system.
The 24, 000 Ghana cedis borehole project is entrusted in the care of a committee set up by the leadership of the community to manage the facility and ensure sustainability.
Speaking at the unveiling of the borehole facility, President of Rotary Club of Accra Labone, Doreen Ashiboe-Mensah, said the importance of safe drinking water and adequate sanitation cannot be overemphasized
