In his presentation, Mr Godwin Kotoku outlined the agency’s recent achievements at the headwork, including the procurement and installation of a 2000m3 per day package treatment unit aimed at boosting water production. He also reported the completion of a project involving the expansion of approximately 18 kilometres of high density polyethylene (HDPE) transmission lines, enabling efficient water supply delivery to coastal communities and part of Sege.
He placed significant emphasis on the current water rationing schedule within the scheme, noting that only two out of eight high tanks are receiving continuous pumping.
