PROVISION OF POTABLE DRINKING WATER

Written by
  • Apart from supplying her employees with potable treated drinking water, Samartex extends provision of free treated pipe borne water to inhabitants of communities within Samreboi like; Nsuakyir, Aboifie and Bekwai.
  • The total monthly supply of water to these communities amounts to 36,000m3 with a total chemical cost of approximately, GH₵315,000 for treatment annually
  • Samartex has gone further to install 7 additional Boreholes within close by Communities where its water supply does not reach eg. Tigarikrom, Bekwai, Nyamebekyere and Mempeasem Borehole Projects

However there have been challenges facing the company in the aspect of water treatment. Illegal/ Legally claimed mining activities have increased turbidity of water from the Tano River, requiring more chemical treatment. This directly affects cost of production as well as Portability of drinking water. This compelled us to opt for the construction of more bore holes for production and communities.
