Ghana Water Company assures Volta residents of new machines to end water crisis

The Managing Director of the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL), Mutawakilu Adams, has assured residents of Ho and its surrounding communities that steps are being taken to resolve the ongoing water crisis.
According to Adams, the company has ordered two new machines to replace the old and faulty ones at the Kpeve headworks, which has suffered multiple breakdowns in recent weeks, disrupting water supply across the municipality.
The frequent failure of the Kpeve headworks pumps in January led to a severe water shortage, forcing residents to travel long distances in search of water.
Hospitals, schools, and other institutions have also been severely affected by the crisis.
On Monday, February 5, 2025, Volta Regional Minister James Gunu, along with GWCL management and traditional leaders from Ho and Kpeve, toured the Kpeve headworks to assess the situation.
Speaking to the media after the inspection, Mutawakilu Adams reaffirmed the company's commitment to resolving the issue.
"We have placed orders for two brand-new machines to replace the faulty ones, ensuring a more effective and reliable water supply," he assured.
Residents remain hopeful that the arrival of the new equipment will bring lasting relief and end the recurring water shortages in the region
