P-05-801 Save the trees and ground in Roath Mill and Roath Brook Gardens before it's too late - Correspondence from Dwr Cymru to the Chair, 02.08.18

For the attention of David J Rowlands AC/AM

Dear Mr Rowlands

Thank you for your correspondence of 30 July 2018 in relation to the above petition.

We currently make full operational use of Lisvane reservoir in Cardiff for the purposes of water supply to industrial users in the city. By 2020 we will also be bringing LLanishen reservoir back into service. Both reservoirs will be used for water supply and recreational purposes. For these reasons and in the interests of Dam safety we will not be able to use them for flood risk mitigation purposes.

I hope this clarifies our position on the reservoirs. However, if you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours sincerely

Peter Perry

Managing Director
