AMA impounds more sachet water trucks
Fourteen trucks loaded with sachet and bottled water were impounded by the Accra Metropolitan Assembly’s Task Force for not registering with the Accra Waste Management Project before transacting business in the Central Business District (CBD) of Accra.
Some of the companies whose trucks were impounded were Space Filtered Water, Eagle Filtered Water, Ahenfie Filtered Water, Flaco Nsu Pa, and OK Mineral Water.
Mr. Ebo Botwe, Chairman of the Accra Plastic Waste Management Committee, said there had been a tremendous improvement in the registration of sachet water trucks since the operation to impound them started on Monday.
“I am impressed with the rush for the stickers by the sachet water producers since the commencement of this operation,” he said.
Mr. Botwe said it was the hope of the committee to get at least 80% of sachet and bottled water companies which transacted business in the CBD zone to register by the end of the week.
