That plant is less than 10 years old but unfortunately, all the pumps broke down at the same time so we are replacing them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe pumps broke down as a result of the pollution of the water in the Densu River around the Nsamam area. And then there are the numerous power outages that we have been experiencing. So we have had to change all the pumps in that area. And you know pumps are quite expensive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe needed to import them into the system. So we are almost done with the installation of the pumps and when we are done, at least water flow to the Nsawam municipality will improve.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU: https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ghana Water Limited (GWL) says it is actively engaged in efforts to reinstate water supply in the Nsawam township, in response to mounting concerns raised by residents regarding prolonged water shortages in the area.
