Regional News of Tuesday, 2 April 2019Source: ghanaiantimes.com.ghAccra to face water crisis? Mr Suobigbiree with Patrick Kumor, MCE of WGMA, Tina Ayeley Mensah, MP for Weija-GbaweThe current water crisis facing the capital is far from over as four out of 12 filters operating at the Weija Treatment Plant in Accra remains dysfunctional. According to Water Quality Assurance officer of the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) Weija Headworks, Mr John Suobogbiree, the situation was increasingly accountable for limited production and intermittent water supply experienced in the region. Due to the high pressure on the remaining eight filters, we isolate one every month for cleaning which takes about eight days before coming into full operation and that sometimes leads to low pressure in water supply,” he explained. The filters remove impurities from water by means of physical barrier, a chemical or biological process.
