Charles Tulashie explained the rationale behind acquiring the new equipment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur average production capacity is 120,000 cubic meters per day. However, over the past three months, we\u2019ve faced challenges with our old pumps, which have reduced our production capacity to about 20%. This has affected areas such as Achimota, Tesano, North Kaneshie, Dansoman, and Kasoa corridor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A board member of the Ghana Water Company Dr. Hamidu Alhassan also emphasised that the purchase of these new pumping systems was funded through internally generated revenue.<\/p>\n<p>He expressed confidence that the new equipment would restore full water production capacity, ensuring improved water distribution for consumers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we are trying to do is to do a restoration of capacity. If you are pumping, efficiency drops, with time you would have to restore capacity and that is what they\u2019ve been doing with their maintenance team.\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\u00a0\u00a0<span class=\"google-anno-t\">Citi Newsroom<\/span>\u00a0channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU<\/strong>:\u00a0<strong>https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spam, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ghana Water Company Limited has acquired four new pumping systems to enhance water production capacity in Accra, aiming to reduce water rationing in the capital.
