Wa West MP commissions boreholes to help constituents access water

Residents of Dobaziiri, Pigbengbeng, and Zowayeli in the Wa West Constituency of the Upper West Region can now breathe a sigh of relief as their water source has been improved.

The three communities can now boast of sufficient potable water after the Member of Parliament for Wa West Constituency, Supt. Peter Lanchene Toobu (rtd), commissioned three boreholes to provide good drinking water for the residents.

Previously, the residents had to queue for long hours to get water from the only existing boreholes in the communities or walk long distances to get water from unwholesome sources due to the pressure on the existing boreholes.

Drinking water from unwholesome sources posed health threats to the residents and their children.  Therefore, the residents were very grateful to the MP for providing them with the boreholes to supplement the existing ones.

Mr. Toobu commissioning the three boreholes in the company of some constituency executives of the NDC expressed gratitude to the Ministry of National Security for sponsoring it through the Gulf of Guinea Northern Regions Social Cohesion (SOCO) project. He noted the significance of making clean water available to the residents and mentioned that two more boreholes will be drilled in the future, bringing the total to five.

He revealed that he has drilled a total of eighteen boreholes with his portion of the Common Fund. Mr. Toobu assured the residents that he will continue to work in their best interests.
