Anglian Water is starting work next month to protect the shorelines at Rutland reservoir as part of a £10 million, two year project, to secure more than 18km of shoreline at three drinking water reservoirs across the region.
In total around eleven kilometres of Rutland’s shoreline will be protected from erosion by using aporous matting.
Kevin Appleton, Anglian Water Visitor Operations Manager, said:
“This is an important project across a number of our reservoirs to ensure they remain in great condition for all to enjoy.
“Rutland is a vital part of the local community and an exceptional habitat for wildlife. This is why we want to engage with the local community to explain what we are doing and why.
“It may be hard to believe that you can get coastal like erosion in landlocked Rutland, but the effects of the wind on these large bodies of open water often causes waves which overtime cause some undercutting of the embankments and leads to small collapses on some of the banks. Our reservoirs serve an industrial purpose, but they are also tremendous habitats for all kinds of wildlife.”
