Residents of the Ho Mu­nicipality have appealed to the Ghana Water Limited (GWL) to address the acute water problem facing them since the beginning of the year.

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.

Speaking to The Ghanaian Times in Ho, Mr Vincent Edudzi, linked the water supply challeng­es 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 govern­ment.

A 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 Gha­na Water Limited by providing boreholes and wells in their houses.
