Ghana Water Company ration's water in Takoradi
Management of Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL)
in the Western Region has begun rationing water in
the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis due to the low
level of water at the treatment plant.








"Due to the onset of the dry season and its
effects on water production and distribution, it
has become necessary to ration water in the
Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis until the raw water
supply situation improves".

Nana Yaw Barima Barnie, Western Regional
Communications Manager of GWCL who made this known
in an interview with the GNA said plans were
currently underway to dredge its intake points at
Daboase and Bosomase to increase the quantity of
raw water.

He said, "following this developing incident, the
company has provided customers with a rationing
schedule through which water will be distributed
to customers".

According to him, areas to receive water supply on
Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays are Effiakuma,
Effia, Effiakuma Zongo, Bankyease, Sawmill, Lagos
Town, Airport Ridge, Kwesimintsim, Dupaul, Apowa,
Assakae, Apremdo, New Amanful, Funko, Adwoa,
Kajebril, and East and West Tanokrom.

On Wednesdays, Anaji, West Line, West Anaji

water.

On Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, Beach Road,
Chapel Hill, Dixcove Hill, Esikafuo Ambantem (1, 2
& 3), Kintampo Road, Cape Coast Road, Port

treated water judiciously by storing enough water
that would last for their next supply of water.

He also advised against the use of treated water
to water lawns and wash cars.
