Ghana Water Limited (GWL) has announced a temporary shutdown of its Weija Water Treatment Plant to carry out urgent repair works on a faulty pipeline.
The maintenance is scheduled for Thursday, December 4, 2025, from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
In a statement on Tuesday, December 2, the utility explained 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.”
The shutdown will affect several communities, including Korle-Bu, Dansoman, Mamprobi, parts of Weija, Gbawe, Malam, Anyaa, Kwashieman, Ablekuma, Darkuman, Kaneshie, Tesano, Odorkor, Sowutuom, Lapaz, parts of Achimota, the North Industrial Area, and adjoining areas.
GWL urged customers to prepare in advance, saying, “We encourage them to store water ahead of the shutdown.” The company assured that production will resume promptly once the repair work is completed.
The utility expressed regret for any inconvenience caused and emphasized its commitment to maintaining a reliable water supply for Accra residents.
