The Management of Ghana Water Ltd. (GWL) in the Accra West Region has announced that the Weija Water Treatment Plant will be shut down on Thursday, December 4, 2025, to allow for urgent repairs on a damaged transmission pipeline.
According to a statement from GWL, a major line that conveys water from the plant to western parts of Accra has developed “serious perforations,” creating a high risk of complete failure if immediate action is not taken.
The shutdown will occur from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
The interruption will affect several areas, including Korle-Bu, Dansoman, Mamprobi, parts of Weija, Gbawe, Malam, Anyaa, Kwashieman, Ablekuma, Darkuman, Kaneshie, Tesano, Odorkor, Sowutuom, Lapaz, parts of Achimota, the North Industrial Area, and nearby communities.
GWL assured the public that water production will resume as soon as the repair works are completed. Customers have been encouraged to store enough water ahead of the planned outage to reduce inconvenience.
The company apologised for the disruption and reaffirmed its commitment to providing a safe and reliable water supply system.
