One billion gallons of water are being drained out of Chasewater’s reservoir, to allow essential safety improvements to the reservoir to take place.
A team of reservoir experts and representatives from Lichfield District Council on Monday 1 February 2010 opened the valves, to allow around one billion gallons of water to drain out of Chasewater reservoir.
The reservoir is being drained in preparation for a major programme of safety improvements to Chasewater's eastern dam. These works will make sure the dam remains safe for years to come. Click the photograph to view my album.
