Western Region Water Company Pursues Customers in GH₵23m in Unpaid Bills
The Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) in the Western Region is owed over GH₵23 million by local customers, a debt that’s straining their ability to maintain water services. Acting Chief Manager Nana Yaw Barima Barnie announced a revenue mobilization campaign to retrieve these arrears, explaining that the GWCL relies heavily on customer payments for essential operations. The company, which is not government-funded, uses funds from bills to cover treatment chemicals, vehicle fuel, and maintenance costs. Officials plan to visit homes across the region, aiming to collect payments without resorting to disconnections, though defaulters may face cut-offs.
