Ghana Water Limited (GWL) has acknowledged that its current operational capacity is insufficient to provide a continuous 24-hour water supply to all consumers across the country.
The company says it is managing available resources to ensure that communities receive some level of water supply despite the limitations.
Chief Manager for Corporate Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation at GWL, Michael Tawiah Klutse, disclosed this on Tuesday, November 10.
He explained that the geographical elevation of communities also affects water distribution, with residents in higher-lying areas facing greater difficulty because of inadequate pressure in the supply network.
According to him, additional interventions are required to build sufficient pressure to deliver water to elevated communities, unlike lower-lying areas where distribution is easier.
“We don’t have the capacity to serve every single person 24/7 at the moment. What we have is what we are managing for everybody to get something,” he said.
Klutse added: “If an area is a bit at elevations that are higher than our normal flow, we need to put in interventions to be able to build up pressure to those areas.”
