Water Supply Interruption at Dodowa
Water Supply Interruption-The Management of Ghana Water Limited (GWL) is actively informing residents and institutions in North-Eastern Accra of an immediate interruption in water supply.
This urgent notice follows a significant fire outbreak at the crucial Dodowa Booster Station. Consequently, this incident has necessitated an emergency temporary shutdown to enable comprehensive and critical repair works.
Immediate Cause and Swift Response
Firstly, the primary cause of this disruption is an unforeseen fire at the station. This damage, therefore, requires a full shutdown to ensure the safety of the infrastructure and the engineers working on it. Importantly, a dedicated team of engineers is already on-site, working tirelessly and around the clock to assess the damage and restore the system to its full functionality as swiftly as possible.
Comprehensive List of Affected Areas
Furthermore, due to the station’s key role in the distribution network, a wide range of communities will experience low water pressure or a complete lack of flow. Specifically, the affected areas include:
· East Legon, Agbogba, Haatso, Atomic, Frafraha, Ashaley Botwe, Adjiringanor, Ashongman Dome, Adenta, Madina and Oyarifa
Moreover, all surrounding neighborhoods within these districts should also prepare for a period of water scarcity.
Proactive Measures and Alternative Arrangements
In the meantime, Management is proactively implementing alternative arrangements to prioritize the continuous supply of water to essential service providers. Specifically, schools and hospitals will receive targeted support during this challenging period.
However, institutions that risk depleting their stored water are strongly advised to promptly contact their respective Municipal Chief Executives (MCEs), Assembly Members, or Unit Committee Members. Alternatively, they can reach out directly to the Ghana Water Ltd Call Centres on 0207385089, 0207385090, or 0302218240 for immediate assistance.
A Call for Patience and Assurance
Ultimately, the Management of GWL deeply regrets the inconvenience this emergency situation causes. They sincerely appeal to all customers to bear with them during these essential repairs.
Finally, they wish to assure the public that every possible effort is being made to rectify the fault in the shortest time possible. The company is profoundly grateful for the patience and understanding of its valued customers and stakeholders throughout this process.
