Hot SourceGhana Water Limited (GWL) says it requires an estimated GH¢300 million to address the country’s growing water supply challenges and improve access to safe and reliable water nationwide.
According to the state utility provider, the proposed investment will go into repairing broken-down equipment and expanding production to meet the increasing demand from both households and industries.
Speaking on Monday, 20 October 2025, the Managing Director of GWL, Adam Mutawakilu, said the funds are essential to strengthen operations and enhance service delivery.
“If you refer to the report by the Ministry of Works and Housing, you will need about GH¢150 on average to distill a cubic foot of water. So, the budget is huge. We think with about GH¢300 million, we can undertake the entire challenge,” he said.
Mr Mutawakilu noted that the intervention would allow the company to restore efficiency in its production systems and ensure sustainable water supply across all regions.
He added that the investment will not only help address short-term challenges but also position GWL to better respond to Ghana’s long-term urbanisation and industrialisation demands.
Ghana Water Limited continues to engage government and development partners for the necessary financial support to modernise its facilities and improve water infrastructure in major cities and rural communities.
