GENERAL PROJECT

Grassholme Reservoir Safety

Together with our supply partners Esh Stantec we plan to carry out essential maintenance and improvement works to Grassholme reservoir over the next three years. These works are needed to ensure the resilience of the reservoir and improve its surrounding environment. During the work we will endeavour to keep disruption to a minimum and ensure residents and users of the reservoir area are not unduly inconvenienced. We'd really like to hear from you if you have any questions or comments so please get in touch using the 'Contact us' button at the top of the page or leave a comment below.

Update by Brian Hall

Hello everyone

This week we have completed the last of the ground investigations and enabling work in the wet areas and so the reservoir water level will be allowed to rise in a gradual, managed process. We expect that the reservoir return to normal levels within the next two to three weeks after which activies such as sailing and fishing will return to normal. We will continue with establishing our work site and access route but this shouldnt cause any disruption; then reinstating any affected areas and cleaning the roads of mud from site traffic.

We will be returning to carry out further work on the reservoir early next year, we will advise a date nearer the time depending on weather, and the water  will be reduced again to a similar level where it is now.
