Owabi treatment plant shutdown disrupts water supply to parts of Ashanti Region
Residents in several communities in the Ashanti Region are expected to experience water supply interruptions after Ghana Water Limited (GWL) temporarily shut down the Owabi Water Treatment Plant following heavy rainfall.
Ghana Water Limited (GWL) has temporarily shut down the Owabi Water Treatment Plant in the Ashanti Region due to heavy rainfall that caused sediment to enter the water source. The shutdown, which began on Thursday, November 12 at 10:00 a.m., necessitated emergency cleaning of the treatment facilities to ensure the quality of water supplied to consumers.
Affected communities include Asuoyeboah, Tanoso, Apatrapa, Pokukrom, Bokankye, Nyankyereniase, Esaase, Akropong, Mfensi, Twedie, Abuakwa, Maakro, Mim, Nkwakom, Nkawie, Toase, Afari, Wioso, Mpasatia, Abrepo Asuobonteng, and Bronikrom, as well as parts of Bohyen, the Military Barracks, and other communities served by the plant. GWL has apologized for the inconvenience and stated that the cleaning process is expected to be completed by Friday, November 13, after which water supply will be gradually restored as the distribution network stabilises.
