Ghana Water apologises for water supply disruptions following nationwide power outage

Ghana Water Limited (GWL) apologised to customers across the country on Tuesday over temporary interruptions in water supply. The company attributed the disruptions to ongoing nationwide power challenges affecting the operations of its treatment plants and pumping stations. GWL stated, "Management of Ghana Water Ltd sincerely apologises to all affected customers for the inconvenience caused by this unfortunate situation, which is beyond our control."

Challenges on the Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo)'s National Interconnected Transmission System have adversely affected several of GWL's water treatment facilities. Power interruptions have forced most of its water production systems, which rely on electricity from the national grid, to shut down, making it difficult to produce and distribute potable water. GWL assured customers that its technical teams are on standby and will immediately resume water production and distribution once stable electricity supply is restored. The company is working closely with relevant institutions in the power sector and monitoring developments.
