The Ghana Water Company Limited has begun supplying water for residents in Mamprobi, Chorkor and Korlegonno after an acute water shortage.
Residents in Chorkor, for instance, have been without running water for over a month while those in Mamprobi have endured the situation for over two weeks.
The shortage in the areas during the festive season compelled residents to queue and sacrifice their sleep and comfort to access water.
Speaking to Citi FM, Head of Communications of GWCL, Solace Akomeah outlined the mode of distribution when the affected areas were visited.
“We are sending tanker services to these areas to supply them water. this is just a temporary measure to alleviate the problems over there whilst we look at solving the bigger problem.â€
