Sources: 5. Developments: 2. Residents in the Kpone-Katamanso Municipality, including areas such as Community 25, Tema, Ashaiman, and Sebrepor, are experiencing prolonged water shortages. In some locations, households have reportedly gone months or even up to a year without a reliable supply, disrupting essential activities like cooking and bathing. To mitigate the crisis, many residents have turned to private water tankers, though they report that the high cost of these services is placing a significant financial burden on families. There are also growing concerns regarding the safety and quality of alternative water sources. Ghana Water Limited (GWL) has acknowledged a gap between water demand and supply in the Greater Accra Region. The company stated it is troubleshooting the distribution system to manage available volumes more effectively, with the goal of ensuring households receive water at least twice a week. Local authorities have attributed the ongoing issues to pipeline repairs and increased demand. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-11: Sebrepor residents face persistent water shortage and high tanker costs Residents of Sebrepor in Ghana's Greater Accra Region are facing a year-long water shortage, forcing them to rely on expensive private tankers for basic domestic needs. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/sebrepor-residents-face-persistent-water-shortage-and-high-tanker-costs ### 2026-10-07: Ghana Water Limited addresses severe water shortages in Tema and Ashaiman Residents in Ghana's Greater Accra Region are facing severe water shortages, with some areas lacking supply for up to a year.
