Ghana Water Limited (GWL) has announced a planned shutdown of the Weija Water Treatment Plant on Friday, December 19, 2025, to allow for critical maintenance works aimed at improving water service delivery.
In a statement issued by its Communications Department, the company said the plant will be taken out of operation from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. to facilitate essential technical works as part of ongoing efforts to ensure the reliability and integrity of its water infrastructure.
The temporary shutdown is expected to disrupt water supply to several parts of the Greater Accra Region, including Accra Central, Dansoman, Mallam, Weija, Gbawe, McCarthy Hill, Kaneshie, Odorkor, Korle Bu, Mamprobi, Chorkor, Abeka La Paz, Tesano, Kokomlemle, Alajo, Nima, Maamobi, Dzorwulu, Abelemkpe and surrounding communities.
Management of the company has assured customers and stakeholders that adequate resources and logistics have been mobilised to ensure the maintenance works are completed within the scheduled timeframe. Technical teams, the statement said, will work assiduously to restore operations promptly after the exercise.
Customers in the affected areas have been advised to store sufficient water ahead of the shutdown to minimise the impact on households, businesses and institutions.
The Managing Director of GWL, Mr Adam Mutawakilu, described the maintenance exercise as crucial to sustaining the integrity of the company’s water infrastructure and improving service delivery.
“We have deployed all necessary resources and will work diligently to complete the task on schedule,” he said.
The company expressed regret for any inconvenience the temporary disruption may cause and appealed to the public for cooperation and understanding as it undertakes the works to enhance long-term water supply reliability.
