Mr. James R. Fofie-Adjei, the Brong- Ahafo Regional the Production Manager, Aqua Vitens Rand Limited, has appealed to people to change their negative attitude towards the environment as their actions and inactions resulted in expensive treatment of water.
Speaking in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in Sunyani on Thursday, he said dumping of human waste into water bodies, car washing, building along water ways and the felling of trees at river banks culminated in land degradation and was a source of worry to his outfit.
He said the cost of water treatment was expensive apart from making them unwholesome and must be stopped so that the money used in water
treatment could be channelled to other areas of development.
Mr. Fofie-Adjei called for strict enforcement of all rules and laws to ensure the availability and supply of safe drinking water.
