Several communities in the Tema East district, including Saki-Bediako, Michel Camp, Golf City, and neighbouring areas, are currently facing acute water shortages.

The affected residents expressed their frustration as they have been without running water for the past three days affecting their daily lives.

According to the residents, the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) must urgently address the situation and provide clear explanations for the prolonged disruption in water supply.

A resident in Tema, Sampson Ampah, said the water supply issue is extensive and has affected other areas.

“I am talking about a very large catchment area. I am talking about Saki-Bediako, Golf City down to Kpone, parts of Tema and community 25, for the past four days, no water has been flowing through the line. Michelle camp, even the military, no water is flowing. It’s very terrible”

“We haven’t heard any information about whether there is any challenge with their water lines. No information. No prior notice for us to even find ways of storing water. Nothing. And it’s terrible. You can imagine living in a home without water. It’s just so terrible. We want to know the situation.

"What is going on? We need to know so that residents can prepare. They need to give us some information,” he said.
