Regular water supply is expected to return to Ho \u201clatest by Monday [August 26],\u201d the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Water Company Limited, Dr. Clifford Braimah has said.<\/p>\n

Ho has been battling with an acute water shortage this past week after the pillars holding the 20-inch diameter pipe at Bame in the Ho West District broke.<\/p>\n

Giving updates on the Citi Breakfast Show<\/strong>, Dr. Braimah said work to fix the broken down pipelines is close to completion.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy Saturday, I\u2019m sure some trickles will come in because it has to take time to build the pressure in the pipes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The new pipelines are being constructed along a bridge following the Ghana Highway Authority\u2019s blessing, Dr. Braimah explained.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cBecause the levels of the water got very high, there is no way we can put the pipe back on its normal route so they needed to put it on a bridge and the bridge is 18 years old\u2026it is a weak bridge.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cIf you want to put that big pipe, you need approval from the Highways Authority. Even getting the approval to put it on the bridge was a problem. Now we have to do the actual work and we are hoping that between today and tomorrow, we should have the completion of the work.\u201d<\/p>\n
