Public Relations Officer for the Ghana Water Company (GWCL), Mr. Stanley Martey has stated that the company cannot be blamed for the lack of water in the hydrants at Makola, a situation that affected the fire fighting at the Hong Kong Market on Monday.
He explained that the issue was not about lack of water but the GNFS needed to have filled their tanks at a certain pressure and that was the challenge.
To him, this was not a new phenomenon and all the service needed to do was to move to the next available hydrant and fill their tanks.
He was speaking to Kwabena Agyapong on Frontline on Rainbow Radio 87.5Fm.
According to him, the GWCL, have challenges and addressing them but they cannot and should not be blamed.
He also disputed the claim that the GNFS was indebted to the GWCL as stated by some persons.
He admitted that there is a challenge with water distribution in Accra as there is a gap between demand and supply.
He noted what they have is not enough to meet the demand of Ghanaians hence the even distribution.
He said the rationing is to ensure that Ghanaians get water evenly.
Mr. Martey told the host the GWCL has managed to repair two of their pumps that got busted in Weija recently.
He indicated the rationing situation in Accra would soon be resolved.
