Ghana Water Limited Produces 220 Million Gallons Against 350 Million-Gallon Demand – MD Reveals

According to reports by GH One Tv on Wednesday October 14, 2026, the Managing Director of Ghana Water Limited, Adam Mutawakilu, has disclosed that the company currently produces approximately 220 million gallons of water against the estimated

national requirement of 350 million gallons. He said the difference between production and demand highlights the significant challenges facing the country’s water supply system.

According to Mr Mutawakilu, the company’s current production capacity is insufficient to meet the water needs of the population, leaving a substantial gap that must be addressed to ensure reliable access to clean and safe water across the country.

Speaking on the issue, the Managing Director explained that the gap between water production and national demand remains a major concern for Ghana Water Limited.

His disclosure underscores the pressure on existing water infrastructure to serve households, businesses, industries and other institutions that depend on a consistent supply of water for their daily activities.

In his words, “We produce 220 million gallons of water out of the required 350 million, so there’s a huge gap,” Adam Mutawakilu stated.

The figures he presented indicate a shortfall of approximately 130 million gallons between the country’s estimated water requirement and the volume currently being produced.

This represents a considerable deficit that could affect the company’s ability to provide uninterrupted water services, particularly in communities experiencing rapid population growth and increasing demand.

Access to potable water remains essential to public health, sanitation, economic development and the general well-being of citizens. When water production falls below demand, households may experience irregular supply, while some communities may be forced to depend on alternative sources to meet their daily needs.

Addressing the production deficit could require sustained investment in water treatment facilities, distribution networks and other critical infrastructure. Improvements in operational efficiency and the expansion of existing facilities may also be necessary to increase the volume of water available to consumers.

Mr Mutawakilu’s revelation has drawn attention to the need for practical measures to bridge the gap between water production and demand. As the population grows and consumption increases, ensuring adequate water supply will remain an important responsibility for Ghana Water Limited and the government.
