Residents in several parts of western Accra are expected to experience erratic water supply and low water pressure following technical challenges at the Weija Water Treatment Plant, according to a statement released by Ghana Water Ltd.
In a press release issued on Wednesday May 13,2026, the water utility company said the operational difficulties at the treatment facility have affected water production and distribution to a number of communities within the Greater Accra Region.
The affected areas include Dansoman, Mamprobi, Mataheko, Laterbiokorshie, Korle-Bu, La Paz, MacCarthy Hill, Gbawe, Mallam, Tesano, Darkuman, North Kaneshie, Dome, Achimota, Anyaa, Ablekuma and surrounding communities.
According to Ghana Water Ltd, the temporary disruption has resulted in reduced water output from the Weija plant, causing supply irregularities across parts of the capital.
The company, however, assured the public that engineers and technical teams are working around the clock to address the situation and restore normal water supply as soon as possible.
“Management wishes to assure the public that engineers and technical teams of Ghana Water Ltd are working assiduously to rectify the challenges and restore normal water supply as early as practicable,” the statement said.
The announcement is expected to raise concerns among households and businesses in the affected communities, many of which depend heavily on regular water supply for domestic and commercial activities.
Health facilities, schools, food vendors and other essential service providers may also face operational difficulties if the situation persists for an extended period.
As a precautionary measure, Ghana Water Ltd advised residents to store water anytime supply becomes available in their areas to help manage the temporary interruption. The company also encouraged calm and cooperation from the public while repair works continue.
Ghana Water Ltd apologized to affected customers for the inconvenience caused, emphasizing that efforts are underway to resolve the technical challenges at the Weija Water Treatment Plant and stabilize water distribution to the affected communities.
The company did not indicate how long the disruption is expected to last.
