Communities expected to be affected include parts of Dodowa, Oyarifa, Madina, Adenta, Ashaley Botwe, East Legon, Abokobi, Haatso, Agbogba, Ashongman, and surrounding areas.

GWL has urged residents in the affected locations to store adequate quantities of water ahead of the shutdown in order to minimise inconvenience.
