According to the residents, if nothing is done about the state of the boreholes in the community they will hit the streets on Friday, 19 March 2021, to register their displeasure since that is the only borehole, which serves the whole community .

A resident, Madam Doris, called on the Assemblyman of the community to point out the fault with the borehole to enable them to support the community financially to ensure access to potable water.

She disclosed that the borehole at the health centre was their only hope after the closure of the main community borehole but that, too, has broken down.

Most people in the community, therefore, rely on sachet water for domestic use.

Another resident, Teye Evans, also noted that it has been a long wait hoping for the authorities to come to their aid, however, this has not happened and the only way to send their message across would be to stage a demonstration.

Another resident, Richard Asiedu, revealed that workers at the health facility have had to travel very far in order to fetch water.

He, in particular, had not taken his bath for three days and appealed to the authorities to fix the broken borehole to enable the health facility to have access to water.
