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 Martin Curtis-Haigh

Hi

 

Hope you are all well.

We would like to give you an update on progress to date -

Sheet piles are currently being installed to the Dam Crest and weir reduction work to the Southern Spillway is well under way. 

Over the next few weeks we will move onto breaking off the concrete to the weir reduction. We will try to keep the noise to a minimum during this process.

 

Can we take this opportunity to remind you that at Grassholme Reservoir: The site is closed. It will remian closed to the public until the end of this year.

This is for safety reasons while essential work is carried out

Despite closed signs and safety warnings at all entrances to the site, we know that people have been accessing the area.

We understand there is interest in the changing landscape, due to water levels having been reduced to ensure the work can be carried out safely.

However, we must insist that people stay away and remind people that this closure is for public safety.

We do have other beautiful reservoir sites open in Upper Teesdale and County Durham and would recommend these as an alternative to Grassholme.

Regarding Covid - 19 you can find upates as per the link below.

Many Thanks

 

Martin
