Water supply restored to some parts of Accra-Minister
Audrey Agyiri-Inkoom
The Deputy Minister of Water Resources Works and Housing, Dr
Hannah Bissiw, says the Ghana Water Company Limited has
restored water supply to parts of Accra including Kaneshie,
Mataheko, Dansoman and other areas within the low pressure
zones.
Various communities within Accra have been without water for
the past four days following an electrical fault on one of
the control panels at the pump station at the Weija head
works.
The shortage has caused severe inconvenience among many
people across various parts of the capital.
There were reports on Tuesday, February 9, that experts from
Ballest-Nedam, the Dutch company that installed the control
panel at the intake pump station at the Weija Head works
were expected in Ghana on Thursday February 11, from South
Africa to help repair the machine.
In an interview on Citi FM, Dr Hannah Bissiw said one of the
damaged machines was repaired by local engineers on Monday
night.
According to her, local engineers have since been working
hard to fix the damaged equipment and to restore regular
water supply.
“The machine started working at exactly 8:25 pm then thirty
five minutes after the machine had been under operation, the
water started coming through the gasket…during the night we
had a production of 5.5 million gallons until early this
morning... the forecast is that by the close of today we
should be producing around 40 million gallons”.
She added that her office is awaiting a detailed report on
the performance of Aqua Vitens Rand Limited (AVRL) to enable
the Ministry decide on the future of the company.
The Deputy Works and Housing Minister admitted that there
have been constant calls on the government to abrogate its
contract with Aqua Vitens Rand Limited (AVRL), the company
acting for the Ghana Water Company Limited but her outfit
would rely on the report to prevent them from taking any
hasty decision.
“We have a committee in place and we have asked the
guarantor, (that’s Ghana Water Company) to give us a report
on the performance of Aqua Vitens Rand and based on that
report government would take an informed decision” she said.

The change in our pocket is too much
Commentary, Feb 6, Ghanadot - There were many promises that the NDC made during their campaign in the 2008 general elections but
there was one that was very prominent and that was the NDC’s
