At a tour to inspect the project site with the Chinese Ambassador to Ghana on Tuesday, the president hinted there would be uninterrupted water supply for residents in the area.
Hundreds of jubilant residents were present when the president turned on the valves of the new water pumps.
The residents could not hide their joy and excitement, Joy News' Kwetey Nartey reported.
The president admonished the residents to check their taps in order to avoid wastages.
The Minister of Water Resources Works and Housing, Collins Dauda also appealed to the residents to pay their water bills promptly in order to have uninterrupted water.
