GWL to resume spillage of water from Weija dam from Wednesday Sept 9
In a press statement issued Monday morning (Sept 7, 2026), the Ghana Water Ltd (GWL) indicated that the precautionary measure has become necessary following a rise in the water level of the dam to 45.
It stressed that the safety of residents remained its priority and urged the public to cooperate with the authorities to ensure a safe and orderly evacuation.
It explained that the rise in the water level was due to heavy rains upstream of the dam and continued rainfall in the catchment area of the Densu River and its tributaries.
