Grundfos launches mineral water to increase accessibility of water in Ghana

The Ghana Water Initiative (GWI), one of the initiatives under SafeWater, a strategic business unit within Grundfos, recently announced the launch of a mineral water called SUREWATER, which aims to increase water accessibility and contribute to a more sustainable environment by reducing the use of sachet water in Ghana.

SUREWATER will provide access to water for 4,000 residents of Otoase, and 150,000 residents of Nsawam, as well as citizens from other parts of Accra, Ghana. This solution is part of GWI’s larger project to develop commercially viable solutions to provide water services to underserved communities and reach one million people with safe drinking water by 2026.

This mineral water is packaged in large 18.9-litre containers, which are designed for multiple uses and can be refilled if required. The use of bottled water in dispenser can significantly reduce the amount of plastic waste generated from single-use plastic containers, helping to protect the environment and its ecosystems while providing clean drinking water to communities previously without access. SUREWATER costs GHS 60 (USD 4.74) for the first purchase, to buy the bottle and water, and GHS 12 (USD 0.97) for subsequent refills, paying only for the water.

The water is produced from a centralised and supervised facility in Otoase that can produce 400 bottles per day. This facility also provides clean water to the citizens of Otoase through smart water ATMs and household connections. The bottled water is sourced from the ground and goes through a robust treatment process that includes reverse osmosis to ensure that only the best quality water reaches the consumer.
