Serious Water Crisis Hits Asante Akyem Atwedie, Residents Cry For Help.

Residents of Asante Akyem Atwedie in the Asante Akyem South Municipality of the Ashanti Region are crying for help over a serious water crisis that has hit the community.

According to the residents, they have been without regular water supply for some time now, a situation that has made life unbearable for them.

They say they are compelled to walk long distances in search of water for drinking, cooking and other domestic purposes, while others are forced to buy water at exorbitant prices.

The residents who spoke to Atinka News reporter, Sofoba Kwame Afrifah, added that the water crisis is affecting school children, health delivery and businesses in the community.

Meanwhile, the Assembly Member for the area, Hon. Karikari Antwi, has been constantly engaging the authorities responsible for water over the situation.

Hon. Karikari Antwi has also officially informed the Municipal Assembly about the current state of Asante Akyem Atwedie, while waiting for a better solution to the water crisis.

The residents are therefore appealing to the Ghana Water Company Limited, the Municipal Assembly and the government to, as a matter of urgency, restore water supply to the community to ease their plight.

They warned that if the water crisis persists, it could lead to an outbreak of water-borne diseases in the community.

Call Hon. Karikari Antwi…..024 955 7676.
