The Ghana Water Limited (GWL) has announced that the Weija Water Treatment Plant will be shut down on Friday, December 19, 2025, to allow for scheduled maintenance works.
In a statement issued on Thursday, December 18, 2025, GWL said the shutdown will take place from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The exercise is part of efforts to ensure a safe, reliable, and sustainable water supply, especially during the Christmas season.
As a result, water supply will be temporarily interrupted in several parts of Accra. The affected areas include Accra Central, Dansoman, Mallam, Weija, Gbawe, McCarthy Hill, Kaneshie, Odorkor, Korle Bu, Mamprobi, Chorkor, Abeka Lapaz, Tesano, Kokomlemle, Alajo, Nima, Maamobi, Dzorwulu, Abelemkpe, and nearby communities.
GWL assured customers that production and distribution of water will resume immediately after the maintenance works are completed. The company said all the necessary resources and logistics have been put in place to ensure the work is finished within the scheduled time.
Managing Director of GWL, Mr. Adam Mutawakilu, said the maintenance is important to protect the company’s water infrastructure and improve service delivery. He added that technical teams will work diligently to complete the task on schedule.
Customers have been advised to store enough water ahead of the shutdown to reduce inconvenience. GWL also apologized for any disruption the exercise may cause and appealed to the public for cooperation and understanding.
