GWCL raises concern over meter theft at Kasoa, Dansoman, other places

The Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) has raised concerns over what it describes as the alarming rate at which its meters and other connection equipment are stolen.

The illegal activities, according to GWCL, are dominant in its Accra West operational areas where it loses about 10 water meters a day.

In a statement, GWCL noted the thievery of water meters takes place predominantly at Kasoa, Nyanyano, Amasaman and Dansoman Operational Districts.

The statement noted GWCL on Tuesday, March 2023, caused the arrest of a gentleman at Nyanyano who was on the rampage breaking water connections and stealing materials

“It is important to note that these water meters and water connection materials come at a great cost to the Company and so culprits should desist from such acts,” the statement added.

Meanwhile, the company has appealed to the public to be on the lookout for such perpetrators and report all suspected cases to the Police or GWCL to help curb the incidence of meter theft.
