Management of the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) says it is set to begin the spillage of excess water from the Weija Dam.
In a letter dated March 7, 2024, GWCL stated that the water level is gradually rising due to the onset of the rains.
Failure to spill the water, according to GWCL, will endanger lives and properties as it will cause the potential collapse of the dam.
Although GWCL did not categorically state when the exercise will begin, the letter noted that the spilling process would commence at a low rate to minimise its downstream impact.
However, the actual rate would be dictated by the incoming flow of water into the dam and the spillage would continue as long as the water level continues to rise.
GWCL has expressed regret for any inconveniences that may arise as a result of the spillage.
