In an attempt to solve the issue of the lack of well engineered scientific liquid waste disposal sites in Ghana, the Government of Ghana has embarked on a GH¢22.5 million ultra modern waste disposal facility under the aegis of the Accra Sewerage Improvement Project (ASIP).
Located in Legon, Accra, it is expected that the facility, which operates using three types of ponds (anaerobic, maturation and facultative), will adequately treat liquid waste from suburbs in its environs networked to the site, including the University of Ghana, Legon.
It is designed to last up to the year 2030 and the contract is being undertaken by Costain West Africa.
Ghana however needs more of these, otherwise the impact would not be felt. It will just be like a tiny drop in the ocean.
