PRESS RELEASE
DRY SEASON WATER CONSERVATION MEASURES
With the onset of the dry season, the entire.
country is expected to experience challenges with water supply because of the depletion of raw.
water from the various water bodies.
As a result, consumers may encounter erratic flow of water in some parts of the.
country, especially the Greater Accra, Ashanti, Central, Western and the Northern Regions.
The Management of the Ghana Water Company Limited wishes.
to assure the consuming public, that it has put in measures to ameliorate the situation.
Management therefore wishes to call on all to be part of the solution, hence, consumers.
are advised to strictly adhere to the following conservation measures;
- Cease indiscriminate watering of lawns with treated.
water,
- Moderate the use of treated water for.
car washing by resorting to the use of buckets, instead of hosing,
- shut all taps when not in use,

The GWCL has currently resorted to Water.
Demand Management to ensure equitable distribution of the water from the various treatment plants.
All District Offices have been requested to announce to customers, days on which water will.
be flowing so customers can store water.
During dry seasons, consumers resort to the.
use of treated water for keeping lawns green, for commercial washing of vehicles etc.
currently the dry season is on and consumers with greater dependence on rainwater have also.
compounded the problem by taking to treated water use.
These practices ease the pressures in the pipelines thereby causing low pressures and no flow.
in some areas, especially the hilly areas.
Management of GWCL is very much concerned.
about the impact of the dry season on the raw water sources, which has been.
compounded by the excessive pollution of the water bodies and wish to assure the public.
that, the company, together with the Ministry of Sanitation and Water Resources, and allied Ministries,.
are working assiduously to improve on raw water resources in the Country.
The cooperation of the public is greatly.
appreciated.
Help GWCL to serve you better.
