Community 25 water shortage temporary, GWL assures residents

Ghana Water Limited (GWL) has informed residents of Community 25, Gulf City, and surrounding areas that the water supply issues they are facing are temporary and that the company is actively working to restore a stable water supply. Stanley Martey, the Communications Manager of GWL, stated that the company's treatment plants were operating normally, with the primary challenge being low pressure in parts of the distribution network.

During an interview on the Joy FM Super Morning Show on October 7, Mr. Martey assured residents that their situation was temporary and that the company was taking every measure to improve the situation. He explained that while all GWL treatment plants were functioning, pressure management was a major challenge in ensuring sufficient water reaches some communities.

GWL is employing engineering tools, including the Doppler effect, to identify the causes of low pressure and determine where interventions are needed along the network. The company has also installed pressure loggers on its lines to provide regular, hourly updates on pressure levels, enabling technical teams to trace the problems affecting water supply.

While Mr. Martey declined to give a specific timeline for when the water supply challenges would be fully resolved, he emphasized that the situation was temporary and that the company was working diligently to address the issue. He appealed to affected residents to remain patient and assured them that GWL would continue monitoring the situation and maintaining contact with the communities.
