Investment in Withens Clough
We are working to carry out improvements at Withens Clough Reservoir. The works are required to comply with the Reservoirs Act 1975.
What are we doing?
Our reservoirs contractor Mott MacDonald Bentley (MMB) are carrying out the improvements in two phases.
Phase 1 - Drainage Works
This phase included some embankment drainage works and was completed in January this year.
Phase 2 - Overflow Works
In January, we started work to replace the existing overflow structures at the reservoir. This phase of work will take around fifteen months to complete and will involve an increase in traffic to and from the site via Rudd Lane. For safety reasons, we will also need to lower the reservoir for this phase of construction for the duration of the scheme.
