Normal water supply to the northeastern parts of Accra, has resumed after completion of work on the installation of higher capacity pressure pumps at Accra Booster Station.
The Booster Station was shut down for 10 days to enable contractors undertake the installation works, Mr Michael Agyeman, Chief Manager Public Relations of the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) said in a statement to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) on Tuesday.
The project estimated at $32 million was aimed at expanding the capacity of the Weija Treatment plant.
The Weija Expansion Project involves the construction of 15 million gallons per day water treatment plant and the laying of 14 kilometre pipelines to interconnect Weija Treatment Plant and the Accra Terminal Reservoir.
Under the project eight million gallons of water would be transferred daily from Weija to the Accra Booster Station to ease the water situation in the northeastern parts of Accra.
The remainder would be used to improve water supply to Central Accra up to La and beyond and to the fast expanding Weija-Kasoa corridor.
Mr Agyeman said the project expected to be completed by the end of this year, would improve water situation in areas such as Madina, Adenta, settlements along the Dodowa and Aburi roads, Cantonments, Labone, La, Teshie, Ashalley Botwe, Adjirigano, East Legon, Dome, Achimota, Taifa, Kwabenya, and the developing settlements along the Nsawam road.
