Residents in Bono, Ahafo regions owing CWSA a total of GHS400k - Director

The Bono and Ahafo Regional Director of the Community Water and Sanitation Agency (CWSA), Dr. Gustav M. Osiakwan, has assured residents of the two regions—particularly those in rural communities—of ongoing efforts to provide a consistent and adequate water supply.
Speaking in an interview with CTV and Accra FM, Dr. Osiakwan revealed that several water projects are currently underway in key areas, including Wenchi, Dormaa, and Goaso.
Upon completion, these projects are expected to serve multiple surrounding communities and significantly improve access to potable water.
“As an agency mandated to provide water and sanitation services to rural communities, we are doing our utmost to ensure every household has access to safe and reliable water,” Dr. Osiakwan stated.
He explained that the ongoing projects include the laying of pipelines that will connect homes directly to the new water systems, and urged residents to exercise a little patience as work progresses.
Dr. Osiakwan noted that the Community Water and Sanitation Agency currently manages most of the water systems in the Bono and Ahafo Regions, including systems in Bechem, Goaso, Nkrankwanta, and Jankufa.
However, he expressed concern over one major challenge affecting the agency’s operations—non-payment of water bills.
He disclosed that residents across the two regions owe the agency a combined total of GHS 400,000, a debt that is hampering service delivery and maintenance efforts.
“We appeal to residents to honour their financial obligations.
Timely payment of water bills is essential for sustaining operations and expanding access,” he added.
The CWSA says it remains committed to ensuring every rural community in the Bono and Ahafo Regions enjoys clean and affordable water, and is calling on community members to support the agency’s efforts through cooperation and responsible usage.
