Dredging of Aboabo Storm drain is under the way

It is reported that the dredging of the Aboabo Storm Drain in the Asokore Mampong Municipality has started in a bid to address perennial floods caused by siltation.

The Peleele drain is chocked with plastic bins, polythene bags, faeces and sand due to the activities of residents.A 14-member committee has been set up to monitor and ensure residents don’t dump refuse and defecate in the drain while work is ongoing.Contractor for the project, Undaglow Contractors, has started with the dredging as the first phase of the project.The scope of the project is 1.7 kilometre. The main duty is to dredge the sand and dirt from it. First phase is the dredging along the banks.First in its history that we are going to clear the sand; we will not leave the sand on the shoulders of the bridge. We have a dumping site after they dredge, the excavator excavates it then they dump it in the trucks then we go and dump it at the designated site. There are ten trucks a day on standby to convey the sand and dirt.

There is no duubt that the project will benefit many people and bring many active aspects to local environment.
