Residents of Agyemanti now have access to clean and safe drinking water following the commissioning of a GH¢210,000 mechanised borehole project by the Rotary Club of Accra–Airport Enclave.
The project, which includes an iron remover and a reverse osmosis water treatment system, is expected to significantly improve access to potable water for residents of the community and surrounding areas.
Speaking at the commissioning ceremony on Saturday, March 7, 2026, President of the Rotary Club of Accra–Airport Enclave, Gilbert Hagan, said the initiative forms part of the club’s ongoing efforts to improve lives through sustainable community service.
According to him, the club decided to undertake the project after identifying the urgent need for reliable and safe drinking water in the community.
“The project was designed to ensure that residents have access to safe, potable water while reducing the health risks associated with contaminated water sources,” Mr Hagan said.
He explained that the facility combines a mechanised borehole system with modern water treatment technology to ensure the water supplied to residents meets safe drinking standards.
The project is valued at GH¢210,000.
Residents in many rural communities across Ghana continue to rely on streams and other untreated water sources, a situation that often exposes them to waterborne diseases.
Community leaders in Agyemanti say the intervention will help address those challenges while improving sanitation and general wellbeing.
The Queen Mother of the community, Nana Awoyaa Otwewaa, expressed gratitude to the Rotary Club for the intervention, describing the project as a major relief for residents.
She noted that access to clean water is essential for public health and said the project has brought renewed hope to the people of the community.
“This project has brought relief and peace to the people of Agyemanti. Water is life, and access to clean water will greatly improve the health of our community,” she said.
With the completion of the facility, residents are expected to benefit from a steady supply of safe drinking water, an intervention that community leaders believe will support sanitation efforts and contribute to broader development in the area.
The Rotary Club of Accra–Airport Enclave says it remains committed to supporting communities through impactful projects that promote sustainable development and improve quality of life.
