The
Human Security Department of National Security has intervened in the severe
water crisis that has hit Osu and surrounding areas in Accra.
As
part of the intervention, the Department has been supplying free water daily
with its tankers to households and shops in the affected areas.
The
move has provided relief for the residents who hitherto grappled with the
severe water shortage, which the Ghana Water Company says it is working to
rectify.
Major
Ignatius Awuni, Officer in Charge of the Human Security Department told the
Ghanaian Times yesterday that his outfit has been supplying the water for since
last Wednesday.
According
to him the intervention was to help provide relief for the residents until the
normal water supply had been restored.
He
said the water tankers from the Prisons and Fire Services would be released to
join the relief operations from today.
He
said as a long term measure, the Department would drill boreholes in the area
to supplement the water supply.
“The
borehole can provide support in times of such water shortages,” he said, adding
that the department’s borehole drilling team has started preparatory works for
the boreholes project.
Residents the Ghanaian Times spoke interacted
with were very appreciative of the relief operation by the Human Security
Department.
