Ghana Water Ltd Announces Temporary Water Supply Interruptions After Nationwide Power Outage

Ghana Water Ltd management apologises to customers over temporary disruptions in water supply due to power transmission system challenges.

Water Supply Disrupted Nationally

Ghana Water Ltd management sincerely apologises to all affected customers for the inconvenience caused by this unfortunate situation. The disruptions in water supply were caused by challenges affecting the national power transmission system on Wednesday, July 29. The ongoing difficulties on the Ghana Grid Company's National Interconnected Transmission System have affected the operations of several water treatment plants and pumping stations across the country.

Power Interruptions Halt Water Production

The company explained that most of its production facilities rely on electricity from the national grid, making the power interruptions a major setback to water production and distribution. As a result of the power supply interruptions, most of GWL's water production systems, which rely on electricity supplied through the national grid, are not operational. The situation has affected its ability to produce and supply potable water to customers in the impacted areas.

Collaboration and Patience Urged

Ghana Water Ltd is working with relevant institutions in the power sector and monitoring developments closely to ensure normal operations return as soon as possible. The company has urged customers to remain patient and assured them that further updates will be provided as the situation evolves. The utility provider assured the public that its technical teams are ready to resume production and distribution once stable power supply is restored.

Resumption of Normal Operations

Ghana Water Ltd management is closely monitoring the situation and collaborating with the power sector to restore normal operations. Once stable power supply is restored, the company's technical teams will resume production and distribution to affected areas. The company has assured customers that it will provide further updates as the situation evolves.
