A borehole has currently been constructed to service the plant, with a second borehole in the process of being connected to the plant.

This was revealed when the Minister of Water Resources, Works and Housing, Dr Kweku Agyeman-Mensah, with his team went to inspect the progress of work at the Nsawam treatment plant.

He was accompanied by the Nsawam-Adoagyiri Municipal Assembly and the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL), as well as the new Eastern Regional Minister, Mrs Mavis Frimpong.

Residents of Nsawam-Adoagyiri had been forced to fetch water from the Densu River for domestic use, due to lack of water at the treatment plant to serve the communities.

Stanley Martey, Communications Director at the Ghana Water Company had told Pulse.com.gh that human activities along the banks of the river, as well as the harmattan had contributed to the drying up of the Densu river.

But, with the resumption of water production at the Nsawam treatment plant, residents of the area will have 500,000 gallons of water a day.

The Minister of Water Resources, Works and Housing however assured residents that until water supply from the treatment plant normalises, the water tanker services deployed to the Nsawam-Adoagyiri municipality to provide some sort of assistance would continue.
