Central And Western Regional Communications Manager for Ghana Water Company Ltd (GWCL), Nana Yaw Barima Barine, has urged customers owing the company to pay their debts.

He cautioned that the company will opt for prosecution over failure to remit the debt.

According to him, a lot of customers in the Central Region are owing them and due to that, their meters have been disconnected indicating they will be taken to court.

He disclosed there are about 28 customers indebted to a sum of GHC 305,000.

"We have processed them for court to come and explain why they are using water and refusing to pay their bills.” 

"Ghana Water Company is not a subvented organization and that there are no funds to pay salaries, buy pipes, chemicals among others, thus, all these can be done by the collection of water bills. So if a customer uses water and fails to pay the bill, it may lead to shutting down of the company and if that happens there would be no supply of good water in the country," he added.

Nana Yaw Barima Barnie made these comments when the company took some customers in KEEA and Cape Coast to a district court but some of them have failed to appear before the court.

The case has been adjourned to November 29, 6th and 15th December, 2021 respectively.
