The Ministry of Water Resources, Works and Housing has expressed its support for the new policy of the Ghana Water Company Limited GWCL to introduce prepaid meters for water consumption by Commercial and Industrial customers. A statement signed by the Minister, Alhaji Collins Dauda, explains that the GWCL does not intend, at this moment, to apply the same policy to residential and domestic consumers. It observes that the policy has become necessary because of the willful non-payment of the necessary charges by a number of large scale users of water, including some producers of sachet water. The Minister further explains that the efficient monitoring of water usage by commercial and industrial customers, followed by timely charging and payment will enhance the capacity of the Ghana Water Company Limited to produce and supply potable water to the Ghanaian public in a more sustainable and affordable manner.
