Ghana Water Company Limited Gives Three-Week Deadline to Debtors
The Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) has issued an ultimatum to its customers in Takoradi, urging them to pay their outstanding water bills within the next three weeks. The company has revealed that a significant amount of GH₵23 million remains unpaid by customers, and it is taking strict measures to ensure recovery.
The GWCL emphasized that failure to settle these debts will lead to legal action. This announcement comes as part of the company's ongoing efforts to maintain and improve water supply services across the region. According to the company’s management, the funds are necessary for the continued provision of clean and reliable water to residents, as well as to sustain infrastructure development.
Takoradi, one of Ghana’s growing urban centers, has been facing mounting challenges related to water supply. With the increasing population and rapid urbanization, the demand for water has surged, making it critical for the GWCL to ensure that debts are settled promptly to fund these necessary services. Inadequate funds hinder the company’s ability to expand water networks and address supply shortages.
For many residents, the news of the ultimatum has raised concerns, especially given the challenging economic situation. However, the GWCL has emphasized that this move is crucial for the betterment of the entire community. The company urges all debtors to come forward and clear their dues to avoid any further complications.
As part of the debt recovery process, GWCL has warned that defaulters will face court proceedings, which could result in severe penalties. While the company acknowledges the financial difficulties faced by some customers, it insists that settling these debts is vital to ensuring uninterrupted water supply and to support infrastructural growth in Takoradi.
This move by GWCL aligns with broader efforts by utility companies in Ghana to streamline their operations and reduce arrears. As part of the government's push for fiscal discipline in state-owned enterprises, the GWCL’s actions are seen as part of a larger initiative to boost revenue collection across the public sector.
Customers are advised to take immediate action to avoid being caught up in legal battles. With the clock ticking, GWCL remains firm on its stance and urges all customers to settle their debts promptly.
