Ghana Water Limited (GWL) in the Volta Region has announced an emergency shutdown of the Kpeve Headworks to carry out urgent repairs on its raw water infrastructure.
The shutdown is scheduled for Thursday, January 22, 2026, at 5:00 a.m. and will affect water supply to several communities in the region.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, January 20, GWL said the decision followed the detection of a major fault on the raw water transmission line. The company described the situation as critical, citing a serious leakage that requires immediate attention.
As a result, water supply will be temporarily interrupted in Ho Township, Kpeve, Peki, and surrounding communities.
GWL explained that while the shutdown is unavoidable, it is necessary to prevent further damage to the system and ensure the long-term reliability of water delivery.
The company assured customers that water production would resume immediately after the repairs are completed, adding that engineers would work swiftly to restore supply.
Residents in the affected areas have been advised to make adequate preparations ahead of the shutdown. GWL apologised for the inconvenience and appealed for patience and cooperation as efforts are made to restore normal water supply.
