In a news release, the GRCA is in the process of replacing the existing orange booms with yellow-coloured ones.
The installation is expected to be completed by Apr. 23 subject to weather conditions.
The GRCA is reminding water enthusiasts to stay away from dams as water surges can create strong undertows and currents, creating extremely dangerous conditions.
