The project was sponsored by Safe Water Network, an international NGO, with support from the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation and Newman’s Own Foundation of the United States of America (USA).
The people of Toh-Kpalime, Kpalime-Duga, Atoklokor, Agodeke, Kaira and Dzemeni are expected to benefit from the second phase of the project.
Inaugurating the water system, the Deputy Volta Regional Minister, Mr Francis Ganyaglo, advised the people to cultivate the spirit of responsible ownership of the project.
He commended Safe Water Network and its collaborators for their support and appealed to them to extend the project to other parts of the Volta Region.
The Country Director of Safe Water Network, Mr Charles Nimako, advised the people to operate the project as a business.
Already, he said, 20 communities had benefitted from the interventions of the NGO in the Western Region, with the collaboration of Kosmos Energy.
Mr Nimako said with the same collaboration with the Volta River Authority Resettlement Trust Fund, water would be supplied to resettlement communities affected by the construction of the Akosombo dam.
