Some residents in parts of the Greater Kumasi Metropolis are struggling to access water following an acute water shortage.
For the past three days, public water consumers in Atonsu, Dichemso, Kwadaso, and other areas of the metropolis have been without water flowing through their taps.
The situation has placed a strenuous burden on residents, with some compelled to rely on underground water dug within their communities.
Ghana Water Limited in the region attributes the acute shortage to power fluctuations at some of its treatment plants.
Power supply to the Barekese, Owabi, and Achiase booster stations has been unstable over the past few days, affecting water production and distribution to the city.
According to Ghana Water, the current voltage levels to the treatment plants and booster stations are too low to produce and distribute potable water to many households.
The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) in the region explained that a conductor on one of the transmission lines at the Bekwai Roundabout, which supplies power to the plants, fell to the ground, disrupting power distribution.
The power distributor indicated that repair works have now been completed to restore power to the area.
However, many households continue to wait in earnest for water to flow through their taps to carry out their commercial and domestic chores.
