The Volta River Authority (VRA) has provided 14 mobile toilets to Mepe and 10 to Adidome in North Tongu, in accordance with its current Emergency Preparedness Plan, and has restored water service to the Aveyime village.
According to the VRA, the mobile toilets are to ease pressure on the toilet facilities in the safe havens.
The mobile toilets are equipped with biodegrading units to aid in the control of cross-contamination.
The Authority says several other mobile toilets would be sent to the other affected communities across the lower Volta Basin.
Aside from the mobile toilets, the Authority has also procured several quantities of chlorine tablets to be distributed to the affected communities.
This is to ensure that people within the affected communities have safe and clean water for use.
Meanwhile, the VRA Health Services continues to supply medical relief materials to affected populations.
Speaking on the successful distribution of relief items, drugs and water systems to the safe havens, the VRA Chief Executive, Emmanuel Antwi-Darkwa explained, “As I have reiterated, VRA’s Emergency Preparedness Plan is designed to respond quickly to the needs of our people in the affected communities. In as much as we are focused on protecting the integrity of the dam, our greatest concern is in the health and well-being of our people, so be rest assured that our mothers, siblings and children in these communities will not be left behind.”
The Volta River Authority will continue to provide immediate and timely aid to all affected communities, he added.
