Wenchi hit by eminent water crisis
Water crisis looms in the Brong Ahafo regional
town of Wenchi following the disconnection of
power to the offices of the Wenchi Water Board.

The disconnection follows the failure of the Board
to settle outstanding electricity bills amounting
to some two million Ghana Cedis.

The bill is said to have been outstanding for the
past five years.

The Board supervises the provision of water to the
Wenchi municipality and surrounding communities
thus the disconnection has affected pumping of
water for onward distribution in the
municipality.

Joy News Television can confirm there are ongoing
engagements between officials of the Board and the
Municipal Chief Executive for Wenchi, Nana Yaw
Osei-Agyei for early settlement of the bill.

Many parts of the municipality might have to cope
without water until the negotiations are
concluded.
