The project, which cost GHC1,005,800.75, covers the provision of mechanised boreholes with pump houses, the construction of transmission and distribution pipelines, an office for the board members of the facility, a reservoir, stand pipes and two motor bikes.
Mr. Emmanuel Nkrumah, the leader of a team from the World Bank, entreated the community members to take good care of the facility so that the major investment would be justified.
Madam Porli Aberefie Oppong from the SRWSP, Central Region, said the water would be sold to raise revenue for the sustaining the facility.
Therefore, she said, a 34-litre sized bucket of water would be sold at 10 pesewas, and urged the people to be credit worthy.
She urged the Managing Board, headed by Mr. Frank Afran Ameadze, not to politicise the affairs of the facility because it was constructed for the use of all the citizens.
Mr. Inkoom for his part, thanked the World Bank for the project, saying, his outfit would monitor the operations of the managers of the facility to enable all and sundry to enjoy it.
He urged the Board to cultivate the habit of maintenance to help prolong the facility’s life span.
Alhaji Alhassan Ghansah, the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) Parliamentary Aspirant for the area, who graced the occasion, suggested the board members be trained to become efficient.
Nana Kofi Nyarko, the Odikro of Benin, commended the World Bank for sponsoring the project and said the community had ample lands for development partners to invest in projects that would enhance their wellbeing.
