He further stated that disconnected taps will not be reconnected until all customers whose lines are cut pay their debt in full.

“The people who are owing us, we expect that they pay before they get free water. Somebody said those of them who have been disconnected, we have to connect them so that they will benefit from the three months.

I said the President is not telling me to give free water to those who are not connected because the president is not paying for January or February. And so those owing will have to pay,” he said in an interview on Citi FM.

President Akufo-Addo said on Sunday evening when addressing the nation that the government will absorb water bill for the next three months to relief Ghanaians of some financial load during lockdown.
