The Accra West Region Management of Ghana Water Limited (GWL) has taken strong measures to stop unlawful water connections that still have an impact on its operations after discovering approximately 1,500 instances of illegal connections throughout its 12 operational districts.
As part of its benevolence and dedication to the public interest, the company gave these illicit water customers a grace period during which they might voluntarily come forward and regularize their connections without fear of legal repercussions.
In a statement released yesterday in Accra, the GWL Accra West Region’s public relations unit stated that more than 800 people had yet to respond to this call in spite of numerous reminders.
It went on to say that these illicit relationships not only deprived
Not only does GWL provide much-needed revenue, but it also causes water loss and interruptions to service for law-abiding consumers.
According to the statement, which was signed by Mrs. Solace Akomeah, the manager of communications for the GWL Accra West Region, the water corporation has decided to file a lawsuit against these noncompliant people.
To guarantee that all criminals are subject to the full force of the law, the company will collaborate closely with the Ghana Police Service.
The company’s viability is at risk due to theft and criminal activity associated with illegal water hookups.
The business emphasized that it will not permit the acts of a select few to compromise the rights of its devoted customers or the efforts of its employees.
Therefore, people who don’t regularize their links will be taken into custody and face the appropriate legal action.
Furthermore, as part of its ongoing commitment to guaranteeing fair water distribution and enhancing service delivery for all Ghanaians, the statement promised that management would keep urging the public to report any instances of illicit connections in their localities.
