The Ghana Water Company Limited says there will be an interruption in water supply today July 2, 2025.

This is due to the temporary shutdown of the Weija Treatment Plant to allow for emergency repair works on major pipelines supplying water to parts of western Accra.

The affected areas include: Korle-Bu, Dansoman, Mamprobi, parts of Weija, Gbawe, Malam, Anyaa, Kwashieman, Ablekuma, Darkuman, Kaneshie, Tesano, Odorkor, Sowutuom, Lapaz, parts of Achimota, North Industrial Area, and nearby communities.

A statement from the Company said the shutdown is necessary to address critical faults on its pipeline network to prevent further damage and ensure long-term service reliability.

The shutdown, which began at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, July 2, is expected to last until 5:00 p.m., resulting in water supply interruptions across several communities.

The company apologised for the inconvenience and assured the public that the normal water supply will resume promptly once repairs are complete.

“Our engineers are on site working hard to ensure that the work is completed on schedule.” the management assured. “We regret the inconvenience caused to our valued customers and the public.”

Residents and businesses in the affected areas are advised to make alternative water arrangements during the repair period.
