ACCRA, Ghana (BN24) — Water supply to several parts of Accra has been disrupted following a fire outbreak at the Dodowa Booster Station, Ghana Water Ltd (GWL) announced Saturday.
The utility company said operations at the facility were shut down to allow engineers to carry out urgent repair works. The Dodowa Booster Station is a key distribution point, and the shutdown has caused widespread shortages and low water pressure across multiple communities in the North-Eastern corridor of the capital.
Areas affected include East Legon, Agbogba, Haatso, Atomic, Frafraha, Ashaley Botwe, Adjiringanor, Ashongman, Dome, Adenta, Madina, Oyarifa and surrounding communities.
“Engineers are currently on site working tirelessly and around the clock to restore the system to full operation,” the company said in its statement.
GWL management expressed regret over the inconvenience and appealed to residents and institutions for patience as restoration efforts continue. The company assured that measures were being taken to prioritize uninterrupted supply to essential facilities such as schools and hospitals.
Institutions running low on stored water have been advised to contact their Municipal Chief Executives, Assembly Members, or Unit Committee Members for emergency assistance. Dedicated helplines have also been made available.
“We are grateful for the patience and understanding of our valued customers and stakeholders during this period,” the statement added.
