Ghana Water Limited (GWL) in the Volta Region has announced an emergency shutdown of the Kpeve Headworks to facilitate urgent repairs to its raw water infrastructure.
The shutdown is scheduled for Thursday, January 22, 2026, at 5:00 a.m. and will result in a temporary interruption of water supply to several communities across the region.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, January 20, GWL explained that the decision follows the identification of a major fault on the raw water transmission line. The company described the situation as critical, citing a severe leakage that requires immediate intervention.
Consequently, water supply will be disrupted in Ho Township, Kpeve, Peki, and nearby communities.
GWL noted that although the shutdown is unavoidable, it is necessary to prevent further damage to the system and to safeguard the long-term reliability of water delivery. The company assured customers that water production would resume promptly after the repairs are completed, with engineers working expeditiously to restore supply.
Residents in the affected areas have been advised to make adequate arrangements ahead of the shutdown. GWL apologised for the inconvenience and appealed for patience and cooperation as efforts are made to restore normal water supply.
