Electrochem Ghana Limited (EGL), a salt winning company under the McDan Group of Companies, has supplied over 10 communities along the Songor lagoon in Ada with potable water.
The beneficiary communities include Nakomkope, Bornikope, Salom, Toflokpo, Sonkope, Ajumanikope, Matsekope, Lolonya and others.
This comes as a result of water shortage that hit the Ada East and West Districts of the Greater Accra Region some months ago. The situation led to serious agitation from the people of Ada, where assembly members of the districts called on the president and ministers of the state to intervene.
The locals have expressed gratitude to EGL for their “timely intervention”.
“I personally have never seen such a move before in Ada that a company will be so quick in responding to our plea. May God bless McDan,” Daniel Normotey, a resident, said.
“We’ve not been getting water since January so we go to the streams to fight cattle before we can wash or bath. I have been depending on sachet water to prepare food for my family so I have been in relief after Electrochem started supplying us water,” Naomi Agbedam of Ajumanikope said.
Electrochem Ghana Limited as part of its social responsibilities, earlier provided toilet facilities to some communities and supports some communities financially to undertake clean up exercises along the coasts.
