Dr. Clifford Braimah, Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Water Company Limited, has cautioned companies and individuals developing parcels of land on waterways, particularly at Weija, to halt their work.
This comes after GWCL spilled excess water from the Weija Dam in the Ga South Municipality, displacing thousands of residents in the municipality.
Residents in Tetegu, New Weija, SCC, Tatop, Bojo Beach, Ada Kope, Tsokome, Sampa Valley, parts of Top Town, and American Farm at Ngleshie Amanfro to Dansoman and its environs have been affected by the perennial flooding caused by water treatment plant spillage.
Companies and individuals creating parcels of land on waterways, particularly at Weija, have been warned to halt their activities, according to Dr. Clifford Braimah, Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Water Company Limited. Residents in Tetegu, New Weija, SCC, Tatop, Bojo Beach, Ada Kope, Tsokome, Sampa Valley, parts of Top Town, and American Farm at Ngleshie Amanfro to Dansoman and its environs have been affected by the perennial flooding caused by spillage from the water treatment plant.
He explained that the dam has five gates that reach heights of up to 21 feet, but four of them have been opened no higher than six feet.
“I am sure this will be a serious caution to people selling around the place, whoever is selling round the place and whoever is buying around the place and whoever is building there.
“The communities that get flooded should take it more seriously because the water will find itself entering into communities that are not supposed to be affected,” he noted.
