Areas expected to be affected include Korle-Bu, Dansoman, Mamprobi, parts of Weija, Gbawe, Malam, Anyaa, Kwashieman, Ablekuma, Darkuman, Kaneshie, Tesano, Odorkor, Sowutuom, Lapaz, parts of Achimota, North Industrial Area, and surrounding communities.
GWCL apologised for the inconvenience and assured the public that water production would resume immediately after the completion of the repair works.

We regret the inconvenience that may arise as a result of the shutdown.”
