A team of GWCL and PURC officials on an outreach programme has uncovered developments in the buffer zone of the Kpeve Treatment Plant headworks that could pose significant environmental threats to the dam at the intake point if left unaddressed.
The activities in the buffer zone have exacerbated the challenges faced by the Company, which is already grappling with frequent breakdowns of its aging pumping machine.
This machine, the only one remaining out of three installed at the headworks in 1993, is critical to operations.
These challenges have resulted in Ho and its surrounding areas being deprived of vital water resources.
