Dr. Clifford Braimah, said, \u201cProduction of water supply to Accra is 150 million gallons per day or 682,000 cubic meters per day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ing. Dr. Braimah blamed the shortfall in water supply on an unplanned problem encountered at the Kpong and Weija Water Treatment Plants.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe recent problem was an unplanned issue at Kpong [Treatment Plant] and that of Weija [Water Treatment Plant]. There are very old pumps that have been trying to manage, and they normally break down at Weija. At Kpong, after the flooding due to the Akosombo dam spillage, there was a weed blockage. Everything is normalized now, and the challenge has been resolved,\u201d the Managing Director of GWCL said.<\/p>\n<p>He bemoaned the tampering with the pipelines by some customers, lack of capital, and overpopulation as challenges the water company faces.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTogether with the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC), we should be able to move to the government and say that there must be some level of injection of capital. We will have to make a proper case that the gap will be closed. If they leave it to us, some people will not pay their tariffs, some will get people who will do illegal connections. Once they do the illegal connections, they don\u2019t take into consideration our hydraulic system. These are the challenges we are faced with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He called for the retooling of the old system, which has become obsolete, suggesting that some pumps need to be changed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to retool the old system; if you go to Kpong [Treatment Plant] today, we have pumps that are as old as 1965. For the regulator, it\u2019s dead. Because we are still using them, we take money to repair them when they break down. So, renewal of the old system,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>The Managing Director of GWCL indicated that the population of Accra has outgrown the capacity of the water company.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/p>\n<p>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU: <strong>https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No spam, just the stories that truly matter! \ud83c\udf10\ud83d\udcf0 #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The management of the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) has highlighted the challenges it faces in the constant supply of water to residents in the Greater Accra Region.
