Ghana Water Limited (GWL) in the Volta Region has announced an emergency shutdown at the Kpeve Headworks scheduled for Thursday, January 22, 2026, at 5:00 a.m., to allow for urgent repair works.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, GWL explained that the shutdown is required to fix a serious leakage on the raw water transmission line.

The temporary shutdown will result in the disruption of the water supply to Ho Township, Kpeve, Peki, and surrounding communities.

According to the statement, water production will resume immediately after the repair works are completed. Customers in the affected areas have been advised to store adequate water ahead of the exercise.

GWL apologised for any inconvenience the shutdown may cause and appealed to the public for patience and understanding as engineers work to restore the normal water supply.
