Communities facing water disruptions
According to a report sighted on Graphic Online, a wide range of neighbourhoods across Accra and its surrounding areas will be affected by the water shutdown.
The GWL confirmed that residents in East Legon, Adjiringanor, Ashaley Botwe, Madina, Adenta, Oyarifa, Frafraha, Agbogba, Haatso, Atomic, Ashongman, Dome and Dodowa should all expect interruptions to their supply.
All communities that depend on the booster station within the broader distribution network will also experience service disruptions.
The GWL consequently urged consumers living in the impacted zones to store sufficient water before the shutdown takes effect and to use whatever reserves they have conservatively throughout the 24-hour maintenance period.
The company assured the public that its technical teams will work without interruption to complete the project within the stated timeframe, with normal service expected to resume immediately upon completion.
