The Ghana Water Limited (GWL) in the Central Region has announced a steady improvement in the production and supply of treated water, promising to mitigate water scarcity in many parts of the region.
For several months, many towns and communities in the region have endured acute water shortages, forcing residents, including students, to trek long distances in search of water, with some resorting to unclean sources.
The situation worsened with the outbreak of cholera, which has so far claimed 19 lives, with 3,028 suspected cases and 260 confirmed cases in the region.
John Eric Kwofie, the Regional Manager of GWL, assured in an interview with the Ghana News Agency that the situation was improving and urged residents to expect water in their homes soon.
