The Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) says it has been overtaken by events in their attempt to repair damages on the fibre glass at the Kpone water pipeline.
It says the actual situation has exceeded its initial estimation of the extent of damage.
Speaking with Asempa News, Area Communications Manager of the GWCL in charge of Accra/Tema, Nana Yaw Barima said the engineers on the ground met with unforeseen circumstances.
He said their work was slowed by rains and concrete materials under the pipeline.
According to him though the damage to the fibre glass has been fixed, some control cables were destroyed in the process which calls for immediate action adding that but for these occurrences water supply would have been restored.
He appealed to residents in the affected areas to exercise patience with his outfit as they try to bring the situation under control.
He however said that with the current trend of events, the company cannot state exactly when the repair works will finally be completed but he assured that taps will start running as soon as they are through.
