The management of Ghana Water Limited (GWL), Ashanti Region, has announced plans to shut down the Barekese Water Treatment Plant.
The exercise, according to the management, will start from Monday, March 17th, to Wednesday, March 19th, 2025.
According to a statement issued by management, this is to facilitate the installation of new interconnection pipelines and foot valves at the Suame roundabout.
The installation is expected to enhance the metropolis’s water supply.
Affected communities will include Offinso, the entire Kumasi Metropolis, and its environs.
GWL, in a statement, apologised for the inconvenience this may cause to the affected communities.
“This measure is in line with GWL’s commitment to enhance the water supply capacity from the Barekese Water Treatment Plant to improve water service delivery and address the supply challenges in the metropolis,” the statement said.
It further advised all essential service providers, particularly hospitals and schools in the area, to ensure they have adequate storage for the duration of the shutdown.
The GWL pleaded with consumers to bear with the situation, indicating that the project aims to improve the overall water services provided to the public.
