The centralised water supply system run by the Ghana Water Company Limited huge capital and stable funding to expand and maintain infrastructure and distribute water. And it is by poor spatial planning and conflicted land tenure systems. The system has not been able to ensure water supply in the 63 years since Ghana gained independence. It therefore makes more sense to give metropolitan, municipal, and district assemblies the job of water. This approach would be more responsive to local conditions and needs. It will help to address in access to water and promote competition among municipal water utility providers.
