The Managing Director of Ghana Water Limited (GWL), Adam Mutawakilu, has announced that the Kwanyako Water Treatment Plant is now operating at full capacity, producing water at a 100% rate after months of technical challenges. The plant had faced persistent issues with high turbidity levels, which exceeded 11,000 NTU, far above the facility’s processing limit of 2,500 NTU.
The improvement followed engineering works that involved relocating the pumps from the ground to the surface treatment plant, allowing the plant to capture water with lower silt content. This move has enabled the plant to produce water at its full capacity. However, Mr. Mutawakilu cautioned that the current production level might not be sustained as the dry season approaches, which could lead to reduced water levels.
The GWL MD appealed to corporate organizations to assist in desilting the pump intakes, citing financial constraints that hinder the company’s ability to carry out the exercise. He further reiterated the government’s commitment to eliminating illegal water connections to ensure efficiency and protect water resources.
The Kwanyako Water Treatment Plant’s return to full capacity comes after months of disruptions caused by high turbidity levels, which were linked to illegal mining activities upstream in the Eastern Region. Despite this achievement, the company remains vigilant and is working to ensure a stable water supply to the affected communities.
