Nkoranza communities get bore holes

Abrukwa Number Two (Brong Ahafo), 8th February 2000

The government with assistance from the World Bank has constructed 27 boreholes costing about 405 million cedis for 17 communities in the Nkoranza District.

They include Fiema, Konkrompe, Adoe, Boama, Senya, Akonkonti, Sikaa, Adumasa, Bomiri and Mpem.

The other communities are Asuoso, Dromankuma, Bonte, Boaben, Akrudwa Number Two, Asekye-Krukese and Boana.

The District Chief Executive (DCE), Mr. Joshua Ankoma speaking at the commissioning of the project at Akrudwa Number Two, called on the people to protect water bodies in their communities.

The DCE stressed the determination of the government to provide all communities with portable water to enhance the health of the people and urged them to take proper care of the boreholes to enable them last longer.

He said Donkro-Nkwanta has been provided with a Small Town Pipe Borne Water System at an estimated cost of 500 million cedis to ease their burden in having to travel long distances for water.
