The Accra West Region of Ghana Water Ltd. (GWL) has announced a temporary shutdown of the Weija Treatment Plant to allow for emergency repair works on major pipelines supplying water to parts of western Accra.
The shutdown, which began at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, July 2, is expected to last until 5:00 p.m., resulting in water supply interruptions across several communities.
The affected areas include: Korle-Bu, Dansoman, Mamprobi, parts of Weija, Gbawe, Malam, Anyaa, Kwashieman, Ablekuma, Darkuman, Kaneshie, Tesano, Odorkor, Sowutuom, Lapaz, parts of Achimota, North Industrial Area, and nearby communities.
According to the company, the shutdown is necessary to address critical faults on its pipeline network to prevent further damage and ensure long-term service reliability.
“Our engineers are on site working hard to ensure that the work is completed on schedule,” GWL said in a statement issued Wednesday morning.
The utility company has apologised for the inconvenience and assured the public that the normal water supply will resume promptly once repairs are complete. Residents in affected areas are advised to conserve water during the period of interruption.
