The Management of Ghana Water Ltd. (GWL), Accra West Region, has announced a scheduled shutdown of the Weija water treatment plant on Thursday, December 4, 2025.

The shut down is to allow engineers to undertake urgent repair works on a faulty transmission pipeline.

GWL in a release dated December 2 noted that "one of the major pipelines bringing water from the Treatment Plant to the western parts of Accra, has developed serious perforations which can cause the pipeline to give way if immediate action is not taken to repair it ."

In light of this, the temporary shutdown will last from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm on the scheduled day.

Areas expected to experience interruption in water supply include: Korle-Bu, Dansoman, Mamprobi, parts of Weija, Gbawe, Malam, Anyaa.

The rest are Kwashieman, Ablekuma, Darkuman, Kaneshie, Tesano, Odorkor, Sowutuom, Lapaz, parts of Achimota, North Industrial Area, and surrounding communities.
