Madina, Adenta & others return to waterless days

Many towns served by the Dodowa Booster Station, have indefinitely been cut off water supply for weeks now, and there are no indication, whatsoever, when their waterless days, would be over.

Residents affected by the unannounced disruption, include Dodowa, Frafraha, Adenta Ogbojo, Madina, Ashaley Botwe, Adjirinano, East Legon, Agbogba, Haatso, Atomic, Ashongman and other parts of Accra.

In press release, Ghana Water Company (GWC), attributed the situation to a cut in power supply, but failed to give any date when the matter, would be resolved, thus leaving consumers in a hopeless situation.

The statement also sought to shift blame on electrical engineers at the Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo) to rectify the situation.

The statement indicates that, the cut in power supply, has made it impossible to pump or supply water from the Dodowa Booster Station which serves the North-Eastern Part of Accra.

Power supply to the Dodowa Booster Station was curtailed following the destruction of some electrical cables that feed the station, it said.

The GWCL, has only asked the general public, as well as institutions or organisations in the affected areas to bear with the situation as engineers work together with the GRIDCo to rectify the situation, adding it will restore water supply as soon as repair work is completed.

Management of GWCL said any inconvenience caused is regretted.
