Cecilia Dapaah, the Sanitation Minister has disclosed that government plans on placing Polytanks at some vantage points in cities and villages to allow people have access to water.

This follows the government’s plan to absorb the water bills of Ghanaians for the next 3 months.

There were calls from some people that they will not be able to enjoy this ‘free’ water directive because they do not have access to pipes.

During a press briefing today at the Ministry of Information, she revealed that Polytanks as well water tankers will be available to supply the needs of the masses.

“We are going to place Polytanks at some places in the cities and in the villages as well, water takers will also go round so people will have access to water without stress. We also encourage the judicious use of water. There is a Whatsapp going round with a grown man lying in a bowl with running water, let’s cut some of these expensive jokes, the president knows the importance of water in this crucial time, we need water to wash our hands.”.”

She added that the volumes consumed by all households will be sent via text so people become aware.

“All water bills sent will indicate the amount of water you have consumed and an indication that Government has absorbed your bills”
