Community 25 residents demand answers over two-month water shortage

In October 2023, a community of 25 residents near Tema in Ghana faced a severe water shortage that lasted more than two months, prompting them to seek answers from the Ghana Water Limited (GWL). The shortage had a significant impact on daily life, forcing households to seek alternative sources of water, which they often had to pay high prices for.

Some parts of the community went weeks without tap water, severely disrupting the lives of students, businesses, and workers. Prosper Segbey, a representative of the Community 25 Residents Association, urged the government and relevant authorities to intervene and resolve the crisis. Van-Gogh Bagnaba, the association's chairman, asked residents to stay calm while his leadership worked with GWL to restore regular water supply.
