Creston poised to fill defunct reservoirs to restore wetland habitat
SHARE ON:
Wetlands are set to reclaim Creston’s old water infrastructure.
The Crawford Hill Reservoir Restoration Project is entering its next phase.
Starting on March 22nd, crews will begin to fill the higher up Erickson reservoir through the removal of built-up berms. Over five days of filling up, it will create a 37 m diameter pond with a maximum centre depth of 2.4 m
“At the same time, they are going to work on the lower reservoir, our large reservoir on the west side of the property, in developing wetlands throughout that,” said Creston’s chief Administrative officer Mike Moore. “Some small ponds, and some flowing water through there.”
