Barekese Water Treatment Plant Blast Causes Low Supply in Kumasi
The Ghana Water Ltd. (GWL) in the Ashanti Region has announced a major disruption in water supply after a blast hit the Barekese Water Treatment Plant earlier today.
In a press release issued on December 11, 2025, the company revealed that the blast occurred at the plant’s high-lift section, damaging one of the three pumps currently in operation. The situation has led to reduced water flow and low pressure across parts of Kumasi.
