Ghana Water Limited (GWL) has announced a planned shutdown of the Weija Water Treatment Plant on Friday, December 19, 2025, to allow for critical maintenance works aimed at improving water service delivery.
According to a statement released by the communications department, the facility will be shut down from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m as part of continuous efforts to guarantee the dependability and integrity of its water infrastructure.
Several areas in the Greater Accra Region are expected to experience a disruption in water supply due to the temporary shutdown.
These areas include; Accra Central, Dansoman, Mallam, Weija, Gbawe, McCarthy Hill, Kaneshie, Odorkor, Korle Bu, Mamprobi, Chorkor, Abeka La Paz, Tesano, Kokomlemle, Alajo, Nima, Maamobi, Dzorwulu, Abelemkpe and surrounding communities.
Management of the company has assured customers and stakeholders that “adequate resources and logistics have been mobilised to ensure the maintenance works are completed within the scheduled timeframe. Technical teams will work assiduously to restore operations promptly after the exercise.”
Customers in the impacted areas have been encouraged to store enough water before the shutdown in order to lessen the impact on homes, companies, and institutions.
Adam Mutawakilu, Managing Director of GWL said the repair activity is essential to maintaining the integrity of the company’s water infrastructure and enhancing service delivery.
“We have deployed all necessary resources and will work diligently to complete the task on schedule,” he said.
