As part of its corporate social responsibility, Rand Water Services has donated 20 computers and accessories to start a Computer Training Centre at AVRL head office.

The Computer Training Centre was designed purposely to provide staff with computer literacy courses that will enhance their IT knowledge and facilitate efficiency and productivity.

Rand Water is a publicly-owned South African utility company. It is a shareholder of Aqua Vitens Rand Ltd. (AVRL), alongside Vitens BV, also a publicly-owned utility in Holland. AVRL is in the fourth of a five-year management contract with Ghana Water Company Ltd. (GWCL), as the Operator, with GWCL as the Owner of the assets with responsibility for investments. Recently, we granted a written interview to Mr. Enimil Ashon, editor of the Ghanaian Times, during a visit to our offices in Johannesburg.

The Government on Wednesday, November 18, 2009 set a target of 60 per cent provision of potable water, drilling of 1,474 new boreholes and the rehabilitation of 225 boreholes in rural communities during the 2010 fiscal year.

Management of Aqua Vitens Rand Ltd. (AVRL), the Operator, acting for and on behalf of Ghana Water Company Ltd. (GWCL), wishes to apologise for a recent spate of water shortages in parts of Accra and Tema.  The shortage has affected areas which otherwise receive normal flow, whilst worsening supply to suburbs where flow has over the years been erratic.

The greatest asset of every organization is its customers. There is, therefore, the need to do everything possible to maintain a good relationship with customers. The new call center, established in the AVRL head office is aimed at solving customer complaints through telephone communication from the comfort of their homes.
