    Very good move because you are selling your water to other bottling companies who are making huge profits by just refilling into bottles and sachets. It is high time Ghana Water charges a high tariff specifically to these bot ...

    Ghana Water Limited are CHEATING customers so much. They only give electronic bills, which do not show previous and current readings on the meter. They just make wild estimates, without reading our meters. They no longer prov ...

    Leave the subsidiary business claim. Allow the privaze sector space to operate. There's a belief that these subsidiaroes are nothing but fronts for the powerful and politically connected

    What is unethical about a water company using different supply methods? Do you carry your water pipes with you when you move around chasing money and need water?

  • Irene A 4 hours ago

    They can't supply part of Accra with water but they want to do sachet water business. We know by the end of the year, we will have another company making losses.

    GWSC is already performing very poorly in its core mandate. Government should therefore stop the formation of these drainpipe subsidiaries. They only serve the good of management, board and corrupt politicians.

    A clear example of conflict of interest. NDC has no shame and zero scruples.

    Where is GWCL going to get the warer to bag or bottle to sell? Areas of Tema, notably Gbetsile have been virtually without water since December. As insensitive and shameless as they are, GWCL continue to send regular bills, w ...

    If you appoint dumb mediocre people with no vision, you get such visionless projects. NDC is a joke and anyone who still believes this shit party has anything better to offer must be sick in the head.

    Huge conflict of interest. It's like ECG selling TVs or GES selling private teachers.

    The Lake Volta has been there since 1964 when the Akosombo Dam was created. It covers 8 500 sq.m.and is the 3rd.largest artificial water resevoir. One would expect GWCL to have devoted some attention to this source of water. ...

    Sachet water should be banned or should be refunded

    It's like ECG also selling generators because of their inability to keep the lights on.
