Water supply to parts of Greater Accra is expected to gradually return to normal following the completion of repair works on sections of the Kpong–Tema transmission pipelines.
Ghana Water Ltd Managing Director, Adam Mutawakilu, said engineers have successfully replaced weak sections of the 21-inch and 42-inch pipelines, completing the work as scheduled.
The maintenance had resulted in a temporary interruption of water supply as technical teams worked to replace deteriorated portions of the transmission network.
According to Mr Mutawakilu, water production has resumed at the Kpong Treatment Plant, with the transmission lines and reservoirs now being refilled as pressure builds up across the system.
“Barring any technical hitches, we expect significant improvement in supply as the system stabilises,” he said in a statement posted on his official Facebook page.
The affected pipelines form part of the main network transporting treated water from the Kpong Treatment Plant to Tema and communities along the eastern corridor of Greater Accra.
Ghana Water Ltd said the intervention was necessary to strengthen the system and prevent recurring breakdowns. Replacing the weakened sections is expected to reduce pipeline bursts, limit emergency shutdowns and improve the reliability of water distribution.
Mr Mutawakilu apologised for the inconvenience caused by the temporary interruption and thanked customers for their patience and cooperation.
He also commended the company’s engineers, maintenance teams, contractors and other technical personnel for completing the exercise despite operational challenges.
Among those recognised were Maintenance Team Leader Ing. Dr Hadissu Kappus Alhassan and General Manager for Operations Ing. Michael Botse Baidoo, alongside their respective teams.
The company said it would continue to address critical infrastructure needs as part of efforts to improve water supply and service delivery across the affected areas.
