The Acting Managing Director of Ghana Water Limited (GWL), Mr Adam Mutawakilu, has embarked on a system-wide assessment tour of key water treatment plants in Accra to evaluate operational lapses and identify immediate solutions to boost production.
The visit follows management's proactive recognition of critical challenges affecting water supply, and the need for urgent interventions to bridge the demand-supply gap and ensure efficient service delivery.
The tour, which included visits to the Weija Water Treatment Plant, the Kpong Water Treatment Plant, and the Accra Desalination Plant, was aimed at gaining first hand insight into the challenges hindering optimal water production.
A statement issued in Accra yesterday and signed by the Chief Manager, PR and Communications of the GWL, Stanley Mantey, stated that Mr Mutawakilu engaged with plant engineers and operators to assess infrastructure conditions, technical constraints, and areas requiring urgent intervention. "With Accra's daily water demand estimated at 220 million gallons against a production capacity of only 130 million gallons, the city faces a significant shortfall of 90 million gallons.
