People across the Greater Accra Region face water problems that mess up their daily lives. Business owners struggle as they must buy water at high prices. Food seller Patience Dugboe told Channel One News they pay about GHS 30 every day for water needed to run their business. The shortage cuts into their earnings. Many homes have gone without running water for almost a month.

Large containers appear everywhere as residents store water whenever it flows. Ghana Water Limited says they need to ration because treatment plants cannot serve all of Accra. A retailer named Auntie Becky complained that water comes only once a monthly, not enough to fill her tank for sales. She still pays full water bills despite rarely having service.

Students living in hostels also deal with these supply issues. Some areas saw small improvements during follow-up visits, but others remain in crisis. In Tema Community 25, resident Vivian Kumordzie spent GHS 1100 on a water truck delivery that lasted just three weeks. Even basic household tasks become difficult without reliable water.

GWL Communications Manager Nana Yaw Barima Barnie advises everyone to store water whenever possible. He emphasized that having enough storage helps during times when water flows intermittently through the system.
