Residents and businesses in sections of Ghana's Greater Accra and Eastern regions are bracing for a three-day interruption in water supply, commencing today. The shutdown is necessary for Ghana Water Limited (GWL) to carry out critical maintenance work on the Kpong-Tema transmission pipelines.

The essential maintenance operation is slated to conclude on Saturday, August 8. This schedule means that thousands of consumers who depend on these pipelines for their water needs will be without service for the duration of the work. GWL has not specified alternative supply arrangements, leaving many to prepare for the inconvenience.

The Kpong-Tema transmission system is a vital artery for water distribution in the affected areas. The maintenance is deemed crucial to ensure the long-term reliability and efficiency of the water supply network. Consumers are advised to store water adequately before the disruption begins.
