procure New Pumps and other equipment to replace old, dilapidated, and faulty ones to improve on water supply. The latest on the list is the Tema Booster Station where water from the Kpong Treatment is stored and further treated before distributing to the communities in the eastern part of Accra.” It continued that

on Wednesday, Engineers of the GWCL will install new equipment, including new heavy-duty pumps at the Tema Booster Station to replace the 40-year-old pumps. These new pumps are expected to improve the volumes of water distributed in that enclave and to boost pressures. Management of GWCL has as a result rented,

Water Tankers to supply water to essential service providers like the hospitals and schools to forestall any eventuality. Consumers in the affected areas are encouraged to store some water while water is flowing now. The Management of GWCL indicated that arrangement has been made to ensure that Engineers working on the project

will work around the clock, thus will not leave the project site until the work is fully completed and assures the public that, supply will resume immediately the mission is accomplished. “Although the project is in the interest of our cherished customers, Management apologizes for the inconvenience this shutdown will cause the consuming public,” it concluded.
