Natural Resources Wales (NRW) the environment quango in Wales has just given notice to Cave Rescue only it seems at 6pm tonight of a new flood risk due to Welsh Water plant breakdown. I have marked the river in question with a red arrow on NRW's map attached. Their email reads as follows:
"Nice to speak to you. As discussed, I just want to make you aware that
following a failure at Ponsticill Water Treatment Works, Welsh Water will
be discharging water into the Taf Fechan (upper Taff catchment) over the
next 3 days.
This is authorised as per their permit with us, but as it's a relatively
new permit, I'm not sure if lines of communication have been set up yet.
I'm also not sure whether this affects you at all but wanted to send you
some information just in case.
Further detail below:
*Due to a water quality failure at Pontsticill Water Treatment Works, Welsh
Water are expected to be discharging dechlorinated water to the Taf
Fechan. *
*TOTAL volume to be drained 5400m3 over a 72hour period.*
*62.5 l/sec for 8-hour periods Friday, Saturday and Sunday 28, 29th,30th
October respectively. *
Please get in touch if you have any questions.
