Yorkshire Water is investing £7 million
in a scheme to increase the capacity of
the overflow at Gouthwaite reservoir
in Nidderdale, near Pateley Bridge in
North Yorkshire.
Mott MacDonald Bentley began
building a new overflow collection
channel on the reservoir dam in May
this year, and expects to complete the
work by next summer.
The overflow structure will be used
to let water into the River Nidd in a
controlled way aer a storm, which
will improve reservoir safety.
