가나 정부가 담수화 물 프로젝트의 위임을 연기했다. 수자원부는 Ledzokuku Krowor 지자체 주민들로부터 염수가 수도꼭지에서 흐르고 있다고 보고받은 내용에 따라 조사를 요청한 상태이다. 테스트는 2월 초에 시작됐다.

존 드라마니 마하마 가나 대통령은 개장식에서 Teshie-Nungua 저수지역에서 가정까지 하루 150Ml의 처리된 해수를 공급하기 위한 밸브가 가동될 것으로 기대한다고 밝혔다. 한편, 새 개시 날짜는 아직 알려지지 않았다.

 

 

 

Ghana's government has postponed the commissioning of the desalination water project. The ministry of water resources has called for an investigation following reports from Ledzokuku- Krowor municipality residents that salty water was flowing from their taps.

 

Tests have been running since early February and president John Dramani Mahama was expected to turn the valves in an opening ceremony last week to start pumping treated seawater at 150 Ml/d to homes in the Teshie-Nungua catchment areas. A new commissioning date is yet to be made known. Deputy minister of water resources, Sampson Ahi, said the ministry has charged Ghana Water Company to probe into how the salty water found its way into the water supply lines.

 

The Teshie-Nungua Desalination Water Project started in October 2012 under a build, own, operate and transfer contact to serve about 500,000 people in Teshie, Nungua, the Teshie Military Barracks, Baatsonaa, Sakumono and parts of La-Dadekotopon all in the Greater Accra Region. Under the deal it will be managed for 25-years before being transferred to Ghana Water Company.
