Ghana’s water utility warns $100–150M in annual investment is needed to fix aging infrastructure and prevent service breakdowns.

Ghana Water Limited's MD, Adam Mutawakilu, says over GH₵3.5 billion is needed to replace ageing water transmission pipelines and treat plants, many over 60 years old, causing major water losses and shortages in Accra. He cited rising demand, illegal connections costing GH₵8.6 million in late 2025, and insufficient revenue—$100–150 million annually—as key challenges. The utility urges urgent government investment to modernize infrastructure and prevent worsening service disruptions.
