The Volta Regional Coordinating Council has declared water from Tordze as safe for usage after preliminary investigations.
Water from the river was last week declared unsafe for consumption as a result of fears that it was possibly contaminated from agrochemicals that spilled into the river at Tove, in Togo when a truck carrying agrochemicals was involved in an accident.
Residents in Ho West, Agotime-Ziope, Adaklu and the adjoining communities were warned not to make use of water from the river which streams all the way from the Volta River.
But the Volta Regional Coordinating Council in a latest press release, dated 27th February, 2025 has declared the water safe for use.
