Residents of Nungua in the Krowor Municipality of the Greater Accra Region are facing an acute water shortage that has disrupted daily life and forced households to rely on alternative sources.

For several weeks, taps in communities such as Nkpor, Adormi Park, Adogon Adom, Nungua Maamli, Royal, and Cold Store have remained dry.

The situation has compelled many residents to queue at commercial water tankers, boreholes, and private suppliers to meet their basic needs.

The shortage has hit institutions like Adogon SDA, the LEKMA Polyclinic, and small businesses particularly hard, as they depend heavily on a regular water supply to operate effectively.

Speaking to Accra News, some residents, including Sir Samuel Thompson, voiced frustration over the crisis.

They lamented that the scarcity has driven up the cost of living, with the price of a bucket of water rising sharply in recent weeks.

Community leaders have appealed to the government for swift intervention, stressing that access to clean water is a basic necessity that must not be compromised.

Residents are also urging local authorities to engage the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) to find a lasting solution to the problem.
