two.2.4) Description of the procurement
The Trust maintains 70 large, raised reservoirs under the Reservoirs Act and a further 11
small, raised reservoirs, there is also a significant length of feeder channels upstream of the
reservoirs and bypass channels down the side of reservoirs.
These require careful vegetation management to ensure good surveillance around these
features and ensuring these remain safe and features such as trees remain healthy and do
not put the embankment dam at risk. We also need to keep the vegetation well maintained
around the perimeter of the reservoirs to enable safe and welcoming visitor access to the
Trust's property.
Works expected will be grass cutting, hedge work, herbicide spraying, tree work, structure
clearance works.
