    Some more positive news (or a 'climate change' conspiracy) on reservoirs.

    Reservoir projects make progress

    Anglian Water is set to build a new £44m reservoir and water treatment works near Newton-on-Trent after getting the go-ahead from West Lindsey District Council. The 230 megalitre scheme, which will use a new pumping station to abstract water from the Trent, should be built by 2014.

    Once complete the new treatment works will be able to provide 20 million litres of drinking water per day to the Lincoln area.

    Director of water services Paul Valleley said the project was vital because Anglian's region includes some of the driest and lowest lying parts of the country and is also one of the fastest growing areas of the country.

    Meanwhile, Severn Trent Water has submitted a planning application to build two new underground reservoirs in Derbyshire to replace the water company's existing Ambergate Reservoir, its largest covered reservoir. It has been in use for over 100 years but has begun to deteriorate.

    The new reservoirs are planned be built at, and adjacent to, the existing site near Crich and Fritchley. Work could start at the end of the year and be completed by March 2017. The scheme is regarded as critical to maintain water supplies in the East Midlands.
