Projects
Water
The chiefs and residents of Old Subri in the Wassa East District of the Western Region in July 2023 received a community water project worth GH¢176,294.00 from Ghana Rubber Estate Limited (GREL). The chief mentioned that the timely assistance from companies like, Golden Star Resource, GREL, to consistently cater to community needs in their operational areas, had a significant positive impact on the host communities' lives.
The project includes a mechanized water system with two boreholes, three outlets, and a 20,000-liter capacity. This initiative aims to improve access to clean water for the local community. The community water project, started in 2021, faced a minor setback due to insufficient water from the first borehole. A supplementary borehole was added, and now it is expected to serve around 1,400 people in Old Subri, Western Region.

Peoples in the town and around can have their formal education at Old Subri D/A Basic School, a public school under the supervision of the district capital, Daboase.

Why this record matters
“Old Subri” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Subri, town and Western provides the most credible route into that argument.
Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q122212292. Authority coordinates are 5.543, -1.765. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2023 and 2021.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
