The Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) has expressed concern about the alarming rate of water meter theft in Kasoa, Nyanyano, Amasaman, and Dansoman Operational Districts.
GCWL, in a statement issued by its Communication Manager, Solace A.M. Ankomeah noted that “On a typical day, as many as 10 cases of meter thefts are recorded in some of the districts mentioned above, especially within the Kasoa and Nyanyano enclave of the Accra West Region.
“At the point of writing this release, we have 40 Police Extracts from Customers in our Nyanyano District alone, covering the last quarter of 2022 to date, in connection with stolen water meters.”
Ghana Water Company Limited, therefore, cautioned the public to desist from such acts.
This, the statement explained is due to the cost implications for the company.
According to GWCL, “On Tuesday, March 7, 2023, we caused the arrest of a gentleman in Nyanyano who was on the rampage breaking water connections and stealing the materials.
“The gentleman is currently in Police custody at the Ngleshie Amanfrom Police Station and will face the full rigours of the law.”
GWCL thereby appealed to the public to be on the lookout for such perpetrators and report all suspected cases to the Police or GWCL to help curb the incidence of meter theft.
