The Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) has disconnected the church of Prophet Nigel Gaisie, the Prophetic Hill Church, from its water supply.
According to reports, Nigel Gaisie’s church was disconnected due to unpaid debts and an illegal connection.
Reports suggest, the Prophetic Hill Church owe an outstanding debt of GH¢6,900.
The GWCL in the past months have been embarking on a revenue mobilisation exercise to reduce its commercial water losses.
According to the GWCL, it has uncovered commercial water losses valued at more than GH¢4.4 million in just six weeks.
In August and September 2025, the National Revenue Enhancement Teams (NRET) inspected customer accounts across Accra East, Kaneshie-Awudome, Weija, Baatsona, Tema Central, Dome, Darkuman-Gbawe, Sowutuom, and Odorkor.
The GWCL investigations uncovered 109 customers engaged in illegal practices, resulting in charges totalling GH¢4.4 million.
Meanwhile, some Ghanaians reacted to the development, saying, “Even the prophets need to render unto GWCL what is GWCL’s. GH₵6,900 and an illegal connection? Looks like divine intervention couldn’t keep the taps running this time”.
“After all the money he collected from innocent church members… Sia”, another netizen wrote.
In related news, Nana Yaa Jantuah, a Board Member of the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC), has highlighted that the Commission must balance the interests of both consumers and utilities.
According to Nana Yaa Jantuah, there must be a win-win situation in the PURC utility tariff adjustments.
Speaking on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, on a proposal from the ECG and GWL, Nana Yaa Jantuah stated, “The cost of energy is expensive, so we need to keep the lights on. We must ensure that energy is available for industry, for the economy to run, and to guarantee consumer comfort.
“The quality of service is key, but we also have a very difficult job—to ensure improved service delivery while keeping the utilities financially viable. Ultimately, we must find a win-win situation,” she said.
The PURC comment comes following Ghana Water Limited (GWL) and the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), each seeking more than a 200% increase in utility tariffs to meet rising operational costs.
The Ghana Water Limited (GWL) has proposed a jump in water tariff from GH¢5.28 per cubic metre to GH¢20.09 per cubic metre, which is a 281 per cent increase.
