The Community Water and Sanitation Agency (CWSA) is bracing up to sanitize boreholes and other potable water sources contaminated by the floods in the northern part of the country.
James Adusei Sarkodie, CWSA Board Chairman said this on Saturday at Ho during the closing session of the 10th Joint Annual Review of the Water and Sanitation Sector between the Government and its Development partners.
Policy makers, development partners, regulators and facilitators among others attended the meeting.
He said materials left behind by the receding floods was likely to affect the quality of potable water and would have to be cleared.
The four-day meeting, which was under the theme "Harmonizing Approaches in the Water and Sanitation Sector: Aligning Implementation Strategies to Policy Initiative" discussed the new Water Policy and ways to increase potable water coverage of the country from the current 52 percent.
Mr Abubakar Saddique Boniface, Minister for Water Resources, Works and Housing, who opened the meeting called for the mobilization of the private sector to meaningfully participate in the sector to accelerate the development of water sources.Source: GNA
