Ghana Water Limited (GWL) has announced the successful completion of repair works on its 42-inch transmission main, bringing relief to customers in Tema and adjoining communities who experienced a disruption in water supply.<\/p>\n

On Monday, January 19, 2026, GWL announced a critical transmission line that serves the eastern corridor of Accra, leading to widespread disruption in water distribution.<\/p>\n

According to the utility provider, engineers and technical teams were immediately mobilised after the fault was detected and have since been working continuously to repair the damaged pipeline.<\/p>\n

The company noted that the repair works were completed at 8:00 p.m. GMT on Tuesday, 20th January, 2026. <\/p>\n

Following the completion, production and pumping to the Tema Booster Station commenced at 9:00 p.m. the same evening, marking the beginning of the gradual restoration process.<\/p>\n

In a statement issued on Wednesday, January 21, GWL indicated that water supply to Tema, New Town, Kpone and neighbouring communities resumed from 6:00 a.m. on Wednesday, 21 January 2026. <\/p>\n

The company, however, noted that full restoration would be gradual, as supply is expected to stabilise progressively across all affected areas. <\/p>\n
