Non-revenue water is one of the challenges we are faced with and in 2016 and 2017, non-revenue water was at 55%. Though we have managed to reduce it to 40%, it still remains a problem for us.

Report people who enjoy free water from illegal connections - GWCL urges Ghanaians

The Ghana Water Company Limited has also urged Ghanaians to report persons benefitting from illegal water connections across the country. The company described the act as disturbing and said it is denying them of valuable revenue. Some of our customers are engaging in illegal connections into their systems, and

Ghanaians are watching. If you allow a customer to take more than he is also supposed to take, he denies those downstream what they are supposed to get. We have to be responsible and to report those who are engaged in it or haven’t even paid their water bills.
