We’ll try to keep taps running, but not 24/7 – GWCL on new 15.92% approved tariff

The Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) says it will keep working to maintain water flow across the country, but Ghanaians should not expect round-the-clock supply under the current tariff regime.

Speaking on PM Express, the company’s PRO, Stanley Martey, said the new 15.92% tariff approved by the PURC is far too little to sustain the level of investment required to guarantee uninterrupted water.

Responding to the regulator’s claim that the increment was meant to balance affordability and operational needs, he said the PURC itself acknowledges that the figure is inadequate.

“I think Dr Shaffic Suleman has explained everything and explained very well, and he himself has admitted that the tariff given to us this time around is inadequate,” he said.
