President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on Monday inaugurated Phase-3 of the Five Districts Water Supply Project at Adaklu in the Volta Region, a project for which he cut the sod in September 2020.
The project, financed by a concessionary facility from Raiffeisen Bank International AG of Austria at a cost of €11.5million, will benefit some 89,150 people of 95 communities in Central Tongu, Adaklu and Agotime-Ziope.
According to President Akufo-Addo, who addressed a gathering at Adaklu, some key components of the project include construction of three (3) concrete tanks at Adaklu Kpeleho, Adaklu Sofa and Adaklu Kpatove, to help keep the water safe from any bacteria; the completion of a water-booster station at Adaklu Kpeleho to transport water to Adaklu and Agotime-Ziope communities; and the laying of one hundred and seventy-five (175) kilometres of water pipelines.
With designs for Phase-IV of the project ongoing, the president told the gathering that government’s aim is to ensure that all regions across the country are provided with adequate, safe, affordable and reliable water services.
