But owner of the hotel Nana Obeng Akrofi told Daily View Gh the bill for the damaged pipeline must be borne by the drilling company because they caused it.

Personnel of Ghana Water at Weija have confirmed the incident.

According to a bill sent to the hotel which has been intercepted by Daily View Gh, the damage to the pipeline resulted in a two-day shutdown of the the Weija Water treatment plant in September.
