Toddbrook reservoir report published

Read the report . Balmforth doesn’t pull his punches

Exec Summary: final para  ‘CRT have remained compliant with the legislation for the entire time they have had responsibility for the reservoir. The EA have not had to issue any enforcement notices. However, both CRT and the EA have stated that compliance is not the same as safety. This can mean that a reservoir and its Owner can be compliant with the legislation without the reservoir necessarily being safe. This does not appear to be entirely satisfactory and will be investigated further in Part B of this Review.’

The Government Response    Government to strengthen reservoir safety following Toddbrook reservoir report.  Reservoir owners and operators will be expected to apply a series of safety recommendations following lessons learnt from Toddbrook incident.
