Ghana Water resumes Kpong production after pipeline repairs
Ghana Water Ltd (GWL) has resumed water production at the Kpong Treatment Plant following the successful replacement of weak sections of the 21-inch and 42-inch Kpong-Tema transmission pipelines. The maintenance exercise began on Thursday, August 6, 2026, as part of efforts to address weaknesses in the ageing transmission infrastructure serving parts of the Greater Accra and Eastern Regions. GWL stated that water supply will not return to normal immediately, as transmission lines and reservoirs need to be progressively refilled before operating pressures can be fully restored.
GWL said, "The restoration of supply will be progressive as the transmission lines and reservoirs are filled and operating pressures are gradually rebuilt. Barring unforeseen technical challenges, more consumers are expected to receive water as the system stabilizes." This statement was issued on Monday, August 10. The company's existing water demand management and rationing programme remains in effect to ensure available water is distributed equitably while the network stabilises. Adam Mutawakilu, Managing Director of Ghana Water Ltd, personally inspected the works at various stages and commended the engineers, contractors, maintenance teams, and technical personnel involved for completing the assignment on schedule.
