Residents of Sekondi-Takoradi can expect significant relief in their daily search for clean water, as a new ultramodern water treatment plant under the Sekondi-Takoradi Water Supply Expansion Project is set to be commissioned in May.
The project, which has reached an advanced stage, is designed to improve access to safe and reliable drinking water for thousands of people in Sekondi-Takoradi and surrounding communities. For years, many households have struggled with inconsistent supply, forcing families and businesses to depend on alternative sources.
The Minister for Works and Housing, Kenneth Gilbert Adjei, visited the project site as part of his routine inspection tour, urging engineers and contractors to speed up the remaining work while resolving outstanding challenges. He stressed the importance of delivering the project on schedule to ease the burden on residents who depend on steady water supply for their daily activities.
At the heart of the expansion is a new intake structure and a 100,000 cubic metre per day water treatment plant, complete with the necessary supporting systems to ensure smooth operations. Once operational, the facility will draw raw water from the Pra River, treat it to potable standards and distribute it to homes and businesses across the metropolis.
Officials say the plant has been designed to meet projected water demand up to the year 2040, positioning Sekondi-Takoradi to accommodate future population growth and urban development.
With commissioning only months away, expectations are high that the long awaited project will mark a turning point in the water supply situation in the Western Region city, bringing dependable and clean water closer to the taps of residents.
