Ing. Dr. Clifford Braimah, the Managing Director of Ghana Water Company Limited, has stated that the Accra population has exceeded the company’s capacity.
His revelation comes when residents in some parts of the capital including Adenta, Kasoa, Weija, and Apaapa in La complained of water rationing.
Reacting to these concerns, he noted that there was a need for the GWCL to upgrade its machinery to meet the increasing population in the capital city.
“Already in Accra, the volume of water we produce, the population has outgrown it, and we are looking at putting up a new system at Kpone to boost our production but resource constraint has been the problem, Since 2017, 2018, we have been working and we have not settled on finances, he said while speaking in an interview with Citi Fm.
“So already if you have a limited volume of water coming into the system, and your population is big, you have to block them and supply them according to the demands of the people but you cannot give everybody [water] at the same times otherwise some will not get. And so we have been limited for a very long time.”
Meanwhile, he has assured residents in the affected areas that the reason wng they were not getting constant water supply had been resolved.
