The Ghana Water Limited (GWL) Ghana’s state –run water utility has announced that a fire outbreak at its booster station at Dodowa has cut water supply to parts of Accra.
According to a release by GWL, the incident has led to a temporary shutdown of operations at the facility for comprehensive repair works.
