Ghana Water Limited (GWL) announced that the major transmission pipeline responsible for the prolonged water supply disruption in Gbetsile and surrounding communities has been repaired, restoring service to the area.
The outage, which lasted roughly seven months, stemmed from a burst 21‑inch pipeline linking Kpone to the company’s booster station in Tema. GWL’s Chief Manager of Corporate Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation, Michael Tawiah Klutse, confirmed on the Citi Breakfast Show that the repair work on the damaged line was completed.
Mr Klutse apologised to residents for the extended disruption and noted that while the main pipeline is now fully operational, some households might still experience water supply difficulties due to possible localized problems within the distribution network. The company said it will investigate and address these separate issues.
“I want to just apologise for this very issue. There was an issue with our pipeline that had been damaged. It was a burst that we were not able to identify on time. It was a main line, about a 21‑inch line from Kpone to our booster station in Tema. But thankfully, as we speak, the problem has been resolved. We have worked on the line and made sure that now everybody within that community is being served,” he said.
