€13 Million waste water treatment plant for Kumasi
Kumasi and its environs will soon benefit from a €13-million fully customised waste water treatment plant to be known as the Kumasi Waste Water Treatment Plant (KWWTP).
The project, which will be completed in 18 months, is the result of a partnership between the Jospong Group of Companies (JGC) and a Hungarian engineering technology firm, Pureco Limited.
The water treatment plant is expected to create about 1,000 direct and indirect jobs in the area when completed.
Speaking at the sod-cutting ceremony for the project at Adagya, a suburb of Kumasi, the Executive Chairman of the JGC, Mr Joseph Siaw Agyepong, praised the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, for releasing the 130-acre land for the project, saying “this is a mark of the King’s dedication to the development of his people”.
He said the facility, which would be managed by Sewerage Systems Ghana Limited (SSGL), a subsidiary of the JGC, would have the capacity to treat 1,000m3 of waste water every day and turn waste water into compost for the agrarian community of Ghana.
