Community 25 residents demand urgent action over prolonged water crisis
Residents of Community 25 are demanding urgent intervention over what they describe as an unbearable water crisis, with some households reportedly going months and, in some cases, up to a year without a reliable supply.
Residents of Community 25, situated near Tema in the Kpone Katamanso Municipality of the Greater Accra Region, are urgently demanding action to address a severe water crisis affecting them. Eric Martey, an executive member of the Community 25 Residents Association, highlighted the distressing situation during an interview on Joy FM Super Morning Show on October 7.
He reported that households have gone without water for months, in some cases up to a year, despite paying for a dedicated water line. Mr Martey expressed growing concern over the lack of reliable water supply, particularly given the presence of major installations and fuel storage facilities in the area. He warned that the crisis posed a significant risk, noting that all fire hydrants in the community are currently dry, raising fears about potential fire hazards.
Despite engaging with Ghana Water Limited, residents expressed dissatisfaction with the company's response, alleging possible interference and diversion of water intended for residents. The prolonged water shortage has forced residents to rely heavily on water tankers, though the quality of water received has raised additional concerns.
