His Lordship, Most Rev. Peter K. Atuahene, commissioned a Mechanised Water Borehole on September 11, 2015, at Wamahinso in the Brong Ahafo Region at a grand and colourful durbar. The project was sponsored by ‘Grove for Ghana’ in St. Hugh Catholic Church, Miami, U.S.A. The project consists of Borehole, one five-thousand-litre Poly tank and a Submersible Pump.
The Bishop, in his speech, thanked the donors and explained that indiscriminate human activities had polluted rivers and water bodies making them unsafe to drink and use. He said that the project had met the particular need of the community by providing safe and clean water for drinking and domestic purposes. He entreated the people to cooperate with the Management Board, yet to be set up, to ensure successful maintenance of the project. Mr Samuel Owusu Ansah, the Assembly man, launched an appeal for funds to raise seed money for the running of the Water Project.
The Chief, Nana Adjei Twum II, in his speech said “water is life and everything”, and consequently, life had been given to the people in the community” He therefore appealed to all to ensure proper care and maintenance of the facility. He thanked the Bishop and the donors.
After the Queen Mother, with Nananom present, cut the tape to declare the project operational the contractor, Mr George Darfour, officially handed over the keys to the Bishop. The Bishop also handed over the keys to the Chief, his elders and the community. The Bishop concluded the ceremony with prayer and benediction.
