British Waterways have issued a report that Cofton Reservoir is contaminated with Blue/Green Algea. Although we know that Lower Bittell has BGA it has not yet been established that Cofton has. The people who have so far looked at it think it very unlikely. However, we are having it tested later in the week and our web site will be posted with the outcome.
Three of the Directors from Cofton Lake Conservation Ltd met British Waterways Engineers at the lake on 18th August to discuss the draining of the lake. A letter is being sent to the Chief Executive of British Waterways to complain about the workmanship of the Engineers who attended the repair work to the valve which seems to once again be causing problems. An update will be posted when a reply is received.
Some of you may have noticed that the lake has started to be drained down – yet again today!!! Just as it was starting to refill – We are meeting British Waterways tomorrow for yet further discussions – Our web site will be posted with the outcome.
