Well Take Legal Action Publish Names Of Customers Who Owe Us By May GWCL

The Ghana Water organization Limited (GWCL) is set to take legal action against customers who fail to fulfil their financial obligations by the end of May 2024.

According to the organization, they will have names, including organization names and the amount owed, published in the national dailies.

“We need to take more harsher steps. We are giving customers who are indebted to us up to the middle of May to settle their bills. If they fail to do that, then we will name and shame.”

Speaking to Starr News, Public Relations Manager at the Ghana Water organization Limited, Stanley Martey stated that the indebtedness of customers is having a negative impact on its operations.

“Accumulated debts hinder the organization’s ability to sustain its operations efficiently, maintaining existing systems, infrastructure, uninterrupted services, and undertaking expansion projects to provide essential water services to the unserved and underserved communities.”

Mr. Martey hinted that customers owe GWCL to the tune of approximately 1.2 billion cedis for over ten (10) years.

“The revenue generated from water bills is crucial for sustaining and improving the water infrastructure and our services across the country. The organization aims to collaborate with customers to find feasible solutions, including implementing flexible payment arrangements for those with significant debts and obvious obstacles.

“Customers are being notified that the organization will use all legal means possible to retrieve all arrears.”
