COVID-19: Store water – GWCL tells hospitals, clinics
The management of the Ghana Water Company Limited has said that it appreciates the role of water supply in combating the COVID-19 pandemic and assured consumers that a strategic water management plan is in place due to the variance in increasing demand and the volumes that GWCL is able to supply.
As a result, GWCL said it has put in place measures “for all our regions to constantly check on essential service providers and critical facilities, especially hospitals, clinics, airports, MMDAs, and hotels to ensure that these facilities are adequately served to enable them store to meet their 24/7 water demand”.
“GWCL wishes to emphasise that it is essential for these institutions to store water and will again advise these institutions and the general public who do not have adequate storage facilities to do so.
“This will ensure that they have enough water so that, in the event of interrupted water supply, which could be due to power challenges, emergency repair works etc., they can still be served from their storage tanks.
“The GWCL has also arranged with other institutions like the NADMO, National Security and other agencies with water tankers, to support our fleet of tankers in the delivery of water to critical areas.
“Management entreats the general public to direct all queries and enquiries to the company’s call centre and to the temporary numbers for immediate assistance. All essential service providers, especially hospitals and clinics should also call the numbers but with emphasis on their status to enable them receive priority attention.”
