Ghana Water Ltd Announces Temporary Water Supply Interruptions After National Power Outage
Ghana Water Ltd has announced temporary disruptions to water supply in parts of the country due to challenges emanating from the national power transmission system.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, the company said the ongoing difficulties on the Ghana Grid Company’s National Interconnected Transmission System have affected the operations of several water treatment plants and pumping stations nationwide.
GWL explained that most of its production facilities rely on electricity from the national grid, making the power interruptions a major setback to water production and distribution.
“As a result of the power supply interruptions, most of GWL’s water production systems, which rely on electricity supplied through the national grid, are not operational,” the company said.
Management of Ghana Water Ltd apologised to affected consumers and described the disruption as an unfortunate situation beyond its control.
“Management of Ghana Water Ltd sincerely apologises to all affected customers for the inconvenience caused by this unfortunate situation,” the statement added.
GWL assured the public that its technical teams are on standby to resume production and distribution once stable power supply is restored. The company said it is working closely with institutions in the power sector and monitoring developments to ensure normal operations return as soon as possible.
