The Krowor Municipal Assembly has announced collaborative efforts with the Member of Parliament and Ghana Water Limited to address the ongoing water challenges in the municipality following the shutdown of the desalination plant.
In an interview with Citi News, the Municipal Chief Executive, Ing. Paul Afotey Quaye, disclosed that the plant had been operating at only 20 percent capacity for several months before its eventual closure, exacerbating water shortages across multiple communities.
He said temporary water supplies have been arranged for the most affected areas, while plans are underway to install community storage tanks as a sustainable, long-term solution. He also urged residents to store water as authorities work to restore regular supply.
“One of the short-term solutions is to give community members relief. And so the assembly, working together with the MP, will provide water to the communities in water tanks to give them some relief.
“But as a long-term solution, we’ll provide the community storage tanks connected to the Ghana Water grid. So when water comes into the network, we store. Community members can use the household water, when they deplete them, then they can fall on the community storage tanks,” he explained.
