The station is where water from the Kpong Treatment station is stored and further treated before onward distribution to communities in the eastern part of the capital city, Accra.

The repair works, expected to last from Wednesday, December 7 to Friday, December 9, 2022, will lead to residents experiencing a 48-hour disruption in the water supply.
