The government has initiated the Weija Expansion and Rehabilitation Project, to further increase water production in the western parts of the Greater Accra Region.

When completed, the project is expected to add 100,000 cubic metres (22 million gallons) of wa­ter per day, ensuring an adequate supply for the western parts of Accra up to the year 2040.

The Minister of Works, Hous­ing and Water Resources, Kenneth Gilbert Adjei, made these known while answering questions on the floor of Parliament on Tuesday, regarding the state of accessibility to water in the country.

He said the sector ministry was currently engaging investors to secure funding for the project.
