  "account": "Ghana Water Limited (GWL) is set to introduce water rationing in the Kpone-Katamanso, Tema, and Ashaiman areas within the next two weeks, according to a plan announced by the company's Public Relations Officer, Stanley Martey. The decision comes amid persistent water supply challenges across the eastern corridor of the Greater Accra Region, particularly in Tema East and Tema West. To coordinate distribution, GWL will divide these areas into three distinct zones. Martey explained that residents will be informed of the specific days when water will be available, allowing households to store it in anticipation of potential supply interruptions. The company aims to finalize and communicate the rationing program to affected communities within a week or two. In the meantime, GWL engineers have been conducting re-engineering works in certain communities to enhance water flow and alleviate the supply difficulties.",
  "summary": "Residents in parts of Kpone-Katamanso, Tema and Ashaiman are expected to receive water on scheduled days under a rationing programme Ghana Water Limited (GWL) plans to introduce within two weeks.",
