\"\"<\/a>The Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) has embarked on an aggressive debt collection exer\u00adcise in Tamale in a bid to retrieve an estimated GH\u00a22.5 million owed the company by water consumers in the city.<\/p>\n

The company has, therefore, commenced the prosecution of defaulting customers, as well as the disconnection of water supply to both domestic and commercial entities.<\/p>\n

The Northern Regional Communi\u00adcations Officer of the GWCL, Mr Nicholas Nii Abbey, who disclosed this to the Daily Graphic, said the indebtedness was affecting the operations of the company.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs expected, our operations are being crippled by the lack of finance, which is as a result of the failure on the part of consumers to pay us for the water they consume,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Nii-Abbey said the company had already prosecuted 10 people whose total indebtedness to the company amounted to over GH\u00a211,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis month, we plan to prose\u00adcute 30 more defaulting customers who owe the company about GH\u00a250, 000,\u201d he hinted.<\/p>\n

He, however, entreated defaulting customers who wanted to avoid pros\u00adecution to contact the company to negotiate the settlement of their debts.<\/p>\n

The communications officer noted that 50 per cent of the water produced by the GWCL for Tamale and its surroundings was unaccount\u00aded for.<\/p>\n

He said it was either that people were illegally tapping the water with\u00adout paying for it or there were prob\u00adlems in the distribution system, which had led to wastage or a combination of both.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the GWCL is also making efforts to overhaul the water supply system in the Tamale Metrop\u00adolis.<\/p>\n

As part of the implementation of the two-year Subsequent Year Investment Programme (SYIP) which will commence next month, the GWCL will replace weak pipelines, extend services to low-income communities and rehabilitate the existing distribu\u00adtion network.<\/p>\n

The project, which would be exe\u00adcuted by a Chinese firm, China Jiangsi Corporation, forms part of the Urban Water Supply Project being funded by the World Bank and other partners.<\/p>\n

In 2008, another project was undertaken to expand the production capacity from 19,560 cubic metres, which is about 4.5 million gallons, to 44,560 cubic metres or 10 million gallons.<\/p>\n

Major works that were carried out under this project included the instal\u00adlation of three new low lift pumps, the construction of new water treat\u00adment works and reservoirs and the laying of new transmission lines from Dalun to Tamale.<\/p>\n

Currently, the GWCL has the capacity to produce about 45,000 cubic metres or about 10 million gal\u00adlons of water per day to serve Tamale and its environs if its plants are to operate at its optimum capacity.<\/p>\n
