The Head of Policy and Partnership at WaterAid Ghana, Mr Ibrahim Musah, has lamented the excessive loss of treated water that is unaccounted for, when many parts of the country are still lacking in terms of water provision.

Entreating community members across the country to expose members who illegally connect and siphon water, he called on Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) to also deal with the numerous gallons of treated unaccounted for water that does not reach consumers in the process of distribution.

The Government of Ghana has been asked as a key measure of improving access to water, to disseminate the water policy to the majority of Ghanaians, to enhance implementation of the policy.

Head of Policy and Partnership at WaterAid Ghana, Mr Ibrahim Musah, said policy distribution or dissemination by translating it into local languages for the citizenry to understand has not been done.
