Residents in several parts of Accra are grappling with persistent water shortage, which has worsened in recent months due to faulty pumps at the Ghana Water Company Limited's (GWCL) production stations.
The unreliable water supply has forced many households to rely on expensive private water retailers.
The affected areas, including Dansoman, Achimota, and other communities, have experienced sporadic access to water, with some receiving supply only once a week.
In some cases, particularly in sections of Dansoman, the water shortage has stretched for over six months, leaving residents with no choice but to purchase water from tanker operators. Frustrated residents report paying between 50 and 70 cedis per tank from private water sellers, significantly increasing household expenses.
