The Managing Director of Ghana Water Limited, Adam Mutawakilu, has disclosed that the company loses about 73 million gallons of treated water in the Greater Accra region daily.
He attributed the situation to theft, illegal connections, and faulty infrastructure.
“In Greater Accra, we produce about 140 million gallons a day, but we can only account for 67 million gallons,” Mr Mutawakilu disclosed, adding, “that means we cannot account for 73 million gallons every single day, " he disclosed on Citi FM on Wednesday, August 6.
“Even with the 67 million gallons that are accounted for, we are still unable to collect all the revenue,” he added.
According to him, just 48% of the water produced nationwide is properly accounted for, leaving more than half either lost or unbilled.
Mr. Mutawakilu described the situation as unfriendly, warning that the consistent loss of over half of the produced water is undermining the company’s ability to fund operations or sustain service delivery
