The iniative which involves distribution of clean water to residents in the Wuxor, Have, and Sremanu Electoral Area is to reduce their chances of getting infected.
The primary source of water for people in this area is the Tordzi River, which has been contaminated by harmful agrochemical, leaving many especially farmers and residents in distress.
The distribution began from Sremanu and will extend to Have-Fiakpokorpe, Ekporkorpe, and nearby villages to ensure access to clean water for all.
Mr Festus Gbede, speaking to veritasnewsgh expressed gratitude all those who supported the initiative particularly the Akatsi South Fire Service Command for their quick intervention.

Sremanu, Have, Wuxor and their adjourning communities heavily use the river for their farming and domestic activities and this initiative by the Assemblymember is his commitment to a healthier community.
