** Campaign update **

Unfortunately we were unable to stop WPD from draining the reservoir to inspect the pipe. Find out more about the campaign to stop houses being built on part of the reservoir.

This action is now closed. Thank you to everyone who took part.

Llanishen Reservoir

American owned company, Western Power Distribution (WPD) plans to build 326 homes on the site of Llanishen Reservoir in North Cardiff. It has been closed to the public since New Year's Day 2002 because of what WPD described as “the need for inspection work”.
