The Sunyani Area office of the Northern Electricity Distribution Company (NEDCo) has disconnected power supply to the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) main station in the Dormaa Municipality for owing outstanding bills of GH¢4,600.
The company also disconnected power to the GNFS’s sub-station at the Dormaa-Ahenkro bus terminal for an outstanding bill of GH¢1,179 during a mass revenue mobilization and loss control exercise, held in the Municipality.
Other households and public institutions, including the office of the Ghana Ambulance Service which owed the company GH¢10,196 were also disconnected.
Mr John Anim Peprah, the Dormaa-Ahenkro Station Supervisor of NEDCo, told the media on the sidelines of the exercise at Dormaa-Ahenkro that customers in the municipality owed the company more than GH¢20.33 million.
With the exercise, he said the company targeted to recover at least 80 percent of the outstanding bills and urged the customers to settle bills and keep their receipts in order not to be disconnected.
However, the Dormaa-Ahenkro Presbyterian Nursing and Midwifery Training College paid GH¢30,000 of its accumulated bill of GH¢29,266 to avoid disconnection.
Authorities at the Dormaa Senior High School assured NEDCo that the school would pay the outstanding bills of more than GH¢1.64 million.
