Plans to expand the Kpeve Water Pumping and Treatment Station have taken a significant step forward following a feasibility assessment by a delegation representing the Agbogbomefia of the Asogli State, Togbe Afede XIV, and their international partners.
The assessment forms part of efforts to evaluate a proposed investment aimed at increasing the plant’s production capacity to meet the growing demand for potable water across the Volta Region.
Executives of Strategic Initiatives Limited, representing Togbe Afede XIV, together with their Chinese partners, visited the facility on Saturday to inspect its operations and assess the technical requirements for the proposed expansion.
The delegation was accompanied by the Volta Regional Minister, Mr James Gunu, and other local government officials during the tour of the water treatment station.
During the visit, the Station Manager, Mr Eric Avornyo, briefed the delegation on the facility’s current production capacity and its role in supplying treated water to several communities within the region.
He also highlighted operational challenges affecting the plant and stressed the need to increase production to keep pace with rising demand for safe drinking water.
The proposed investment is expected to strengthen water infrastructure in the Volta Region by expanding the plant’s capacity to provide a more reliable and sustainable supply of potable water to households, institutions and businesses.
The feasibility assessment is intended to determine the technical and operational requirements necessary for the successful implementation of the project before construction begins.
If approved, the expansion is expected to significantly improve water security, support population growth and contribute to the socio-economic development of communities served by the Kpeve Water Pumping and Treatment Station.
The initiative also reflects ongoing collaboration between traditional leadership, government and private sector partners to address critical infrastructure needs and improve access to essential public services in the Volta Region.
