GENERAL PROJECT

Selset Reservoir Improvement Works

Together with our supply partners Esh Stantec we plan to carry out improvement works to Selset Reservoir over a period of 7 months. These works are needed to ensure the resilience of the reservoir. We will endeavour to keep disruption to a minimum, due to low water levels in the reservoir and the need for construction machinery access and free movement the reservoir will be closed to the public for the duration of our works.
