Water distribution in Accra and Tema is expected to return to normalcy after engineers completed repair works on four broken filters at the Weija Water Treatment Plant.The fault which developed 8 months ago resulted in a shortfall of 10 million gallons of daily water production. This forced the Ghana Water Company to commence a water rationing exercise.However, the broken filters have been fixed, one month before schedule, and the dam has resumed producing at its full capacity of 50 million gallons daily. Speaking at a working visit to the site Monday June 24, Minister for Water Resources, Works and Housing, Alhaji Collins Dauda, said further steps will be taken to increase water production for residents of Accra and Tema.In a related development, the Minister spoke on the subject of reports earlier this year regarding the use of expired chemicals for treating water at the Weija Treatment Plant.In March this year, it was reported that 0.7% of 12,000 metric tonnes of expired chemicals was used for treating water at the Plant. Subsequently, it came to light that the aluminum sulphate chemical expired due to late clearance at the ports.The Minister then instituted a 6-member committee last month, chaired by Albert A. Ogyiri, immediate past President of the Ghana Institution of Engineers, to investigate the alleged importation of expired alum for water treatment.The committee after its investigations recommended that four officials of the Ghana Water Company and Ghana Urban Water Company should be interdicted for their roles in the matter.However, speaking today, the Minister, in spite of the committee's recommendations, said he wanted further investigations into the matter.Collins Dauda said he wants further investigations into circumstances that led to the undue delay in the clearance of the alum from the ports; how original document for clearing the chemical got missing; and how the first test conducted by the Ghana Standards Authority proved the alum to be safe.
