feargal   21 #1 Posted November 11, 2018 I don't think I've ever seen the Flask so low! Is it due to the dry(ish) summer, or are more works planned?  I noticed a few portacabins have reappeared in the field by the overflow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Mister Gee   812 #2 Posted November 11, 2018 It was lower in 2003 feargal, I've fished and walked around Damflask for nearly forty years and it is very low at present. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Annie Bynnol   611 #4 Posted November 11, 2018 In order that we don't worry too much, Damflask is not used to provide drinking water and rarely do we get water from Ladybower.  Despite that it is quite difficult to get specific data from YW regarding storage levels, water quality and supply forecasts for Sheffield- they will provide historic data (as required by law) but current data is regarded as commercially sensitive by this monopoly.

It's been getting lower and lower, despite the drought being over for quite a while now. I wonder if they are letting them both drain and if it's got something to do with the work they're doing on More Hall dam? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
