Residents of the Ho Mu\u00adnicipality have appealed to the Ghana Water Limited (GWL) to address the acute water problem facing them since the beginning of the year.<\/p>\n
According to them, lack of water had affected economic activities in the municipality, as residents spent productive hours in search of water from those who had wells with its associated long queues.<\/p>\n
Speaking to The Ghanaian Times <\/em>in Ho, Mr Vincent Edudzi, linked the water supply challeng\u00ades to the change of government, stressing that there were times that tapes were closed for two or three days but the current situation was running into three weeks since change of govern\u00adment.<\/p>\nA mother of four, Mrs Senam Agbeve at Sokode-Gborgame said the people of Sokode have not had water for the past three years and the current situation was nothing to them because some of the people decided to free themselves from the Gha\u00adna Water Limited by providing boreholes and wells in their houses.<\/p>\n
Mrs Agbeve said drilling of boreholes and wells became the main solution to the water challenges confronting residents, and those who could not afford to drill boreholes or wells relied on existing individuals to satisfy their water needs at a fee.<\/p>\n
Madam Cecilia Amengor, a trader in Ho, said the presence of the University of Health and Allied Sciences, Ho Technical University, Evangelical Presbyte\u00adrian church University (EPCU) and the upgrading of the Volta Regional Hospital to Ho<\/p>\n
Teaching Hospital led to the population increase, and the GWCL needed to expand water provision in the area.<\/p>\n
Madam Kafui, another trader in Ho, said as a business woman the difficulties in getting water for domestic use was a major challenge confronting the family, adding that her family needed at least 10 buckets of water to address the water needs, but cur\u00adrently depended on five buckets of water which cost between 50Gp and GH\u00a21 per bucket.<\/p>\n
The Volta Regional Commer\u00adcial Manager of the GWCL, Mr Wisdom Semevor, said it was unfortunate that water supply to residents in the municipality was disrupted since January 1, 2025, which he attributed to a broken pump which was a technical problem and had nothing to do with politics.<\/p>\n
Mr Semevor explained that a pump got broken at the water treatment station at Kpeve in the South Dayi District, and the damaged pump was taken to Accra to be moulded.<\/p>\n
He explained that the damaged component is supposed to be ordered from outside the coun\u00adtry but would take a long time, therefore the decision to mould it to be able to provide water for the people within the shortest possible time while a new pump would be ordered.<\/p>\n
Mr Amevor therefore, assured the residents in the Ho Munici\u00adpality and other parts of the re\u00adgion that conscious efforts were being made to ensure regular supply of water to their homes and urged them to cooperate with the company<\/p>\n
