The chief of Botantia Nana Adu Atta where the sod cut ceremony was held thanked the DCE and the Member of Parliament for the project and pointed out that one of the greatest needs of well-known community has been water and now that the DCE and MP have come to their aid, their name would remain in the history books of the district.

He explained that their happiness was due to the fact that they spend most of their productive hours in search of water and that the situation becomes worse during the dry season as many of the water sources dried up thereby compelling them to travel distances before getting water, a situation they noted affects their day to day activities especially school children.
