The Regional Manager of the Ghana Water Company has directed investigations into reports of interrupted water supply to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.Authorities at the hospital say the hospital has been hit with water shortages since last week, compelling main wards especially the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital to look elsewhere for water.There are also reports of intermittent water supply in some parts of Kumasi beginning last week, at a time the water company has been embarking on an expansion programme to improve water supply in the metropolis under the Kumasi Water Supply Rehabilitation works.Officials of Ghana Water Company who expressed surprise at the reports of water shortage at the country’s second largest teaching hospital say everything would be done to save the situation.But as a first step, they want KATH to develop a mechanism where water supplied to the hospital would be stored for future distribution to all departments of the hospital.Nhyira News investigations reveal the Kumasi metropolis will soon enjoy improved water supply through the Kumasi Water Supply rehabilitation projects where new pipelines have been added to existing ones.The contractor on the project last week test-ran the project which is expected to boost water supply to residents of Kumasi and its environs.Officials of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital say plans are far advanced to complete a project to lay and connect pipes to about eight giant water storage tanks to all departments of the hospital.The tanks were acquired this year to improve water supply in the hospital.
