Issue: growing problem of a rising water level at Sneyd Reservoir, increasing approximately 300mm per year. The original Victorian outfall system, which had been poorly modified in the 1960’s, had fallen into disrepair and was no longer usable. The water level had covered all of the fishing pegs and much of the footpaths. This made maintenance of the area almost impossible. The rising water would flood the adjacent road and School within two years. After a costing exercise and liaison with all stakeholders a new route for the outfall was approved. The main consideration was how to initially reduce the water level in a controlled and safe way, all 25 million litres. We decided the best plan was to bring the water to the outfall rather than take the outfall to the water! The job was completed two weeks early, on budget, and met the client’s and Environment Agency’s expectations with regard to the water level and the ability to manage that level. The anglers are back and revenue from this is expected to rise considerably over the next few years. The Council can now effectively manage this wonderful Victorian resource.
