OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: ALAU DAM REHABILITATION AND WATER RELEASE
The Chad Basin Development Authority announces that the rehabilitation and upgrading of Alau Dam has commenced following the award of the contract. As part of the dam's operations, the spillway gates have been opened to allow controlled water flow downstream through Lagos Street, Gwange, and Custom bridges into the Jere Bowl.
We wish to inform the public that the contract for the rehabilitation and upgrading of Alau Dam has been awarded, and work has commenced on site. As part of the dam’s operation, the spillway gates have been opened to allow water in the reservoir to spill downstream steadily, flowing from Alau Dam through Lagos Street, Gwange, and Custom bridges to the Jere Bowl.
We urge the public, especially residents along River Ngadda and Gwange areas, to remain calm as the water flows through its normal course. The Chad Basin Development Authority will closely monitor the situation and ensure the gates are closed when necessary. We will continue to provide updates on the progress of the project.
