Sekondi-Takoradi cries for water as GWCL seems helpless
Score of residents of Sekondi Takoradi of the
Western Region have been grappling with acute
water shortage, which has hit the municipality for
months.


Whilst some areas have not seen water running
through their taps for months, others are enjoying
intermittent flow.

The most affected areas include the New Site,
Sekondi, Nkotompo, Airport Ridge, the Takoradi
township, Effia-Kwesimintsim Municipality, and
Aboadi Aboasi in the Shama District.

The situation is especially dire in the face of
the Covid-19 upsurge as people, especially, the
educational institutions in these areas struggle
to observe the safety protocols.

Residents who spoke to Connect FM feared for their
lives as they could not access water to wash their
hands under running water.

“The water shortage is unacceptable particularly
at a time we are battling Covid-19, as we have to
be washing our hands under running water often.
Where do we get the water?” asked Madam Akua, a
parent.
