AM visits Welsh Water's £9m Coed Dolwyd service Reservoir site
Aberconwy Assembly Member, Janet Finch Saunders has today visited the site of Dwr Cymru Welsh Water's new service reservoir in Coed Dolwyd.
Mrs Finch Saunders paid a visit to the project to see for herself the work that has been undertaken as part of a £9 million investment to provide a clean water storage facility for customers in the Llandudno, Colwyn Bay, Conway Valley and surrounding areas.
The scheme involves the construction of a new below ground water tank. The facility will store 24 megalitres of water – enough to fill 9 Olympic size swimming pools. It will serve 70,000 of our customers in the Llandudno and Colwyn Bay areas and will also accommodate any future population growth. The scheme which started in June 2011 is expected to be fully completed by the end of November.
Project Manager, Paul Hunter, said:
"We were delighted to welcome Mrs Finch Saunders to the scheme at Coed Dolwyd. As well as explaining some of the challenges we have encountered, we also had the opportunity to explain how this investment project will deliver benefits for customers in the Aberconwy and wider area."
The investment forms part of the £1.5 billion the company is investing in its water and wastewater network up until 2015.
Commenting following her visit, Janet Finch Saunders AM said:
"
I am delighted to have had the opportunity to visit and witness at first hand this marvellous feat of engineering in the early stages. This reservoir, once completed will ensure that Dwr Cymru Welsh Water continue providing a first class water storage facility for our residents in Aberconwy".

Janet Finch Saunders AC yn ymweld â chronfa wasanaeth £9m Coed Dolwyd
Mae Aelod Cynulliad Aberconwy, Janet Finch Saunders, wedi ymweld â safle cronfa wasanaeth newydd Coed Dolwyd, Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water.
Aeth Mrs Finch Saunders i’r project i weld dros ei hun y gwaith sy’n rhan o fuddsoddiad gwerth £9 miliwn i ddarparu adnoddau storio dŵr glân ar gyfer cwsmeriaid yn ardaloedd Llandudno, Bae Colwyn, Dyffryn Conwy a’r cyffiniau.
Mae’r cynllun wedi adeiladu tanc dŵr newydd o dan y ddaear. Bydd yn gallu storio 24 megalitr o ddŵr - digon i lenwi 9 pwll nofio Olympaidd. Adeiladwyd er mwyn gwasanaethu 70,000 o’n cwsmeriaid yn ardaloedd Llandudno a Bae Colwyn, a bydd hefyd yn gallu ymdopi ag unrhyw gynnydd yn y boblogaeth yn y dyfodol. Dechreuwyd y cynllun ym Mehefin 2011 a rhagwelir ei gwblhau erbyn diwedd Tachwedd eleni.
Dywedodd rheolwr y project Paul Hunter:
"Roeddem yn falch iawn o groesawu Mrs Finch Saunders i gynllun Coed Dolwyd. Yn ogystal â disgrifio rhai o’r heriau a wynebwyd, fe wnaethom esbonio sut bydd y project yn gwasanaethu cwsmeriaid yn Aberconwy a’r ardal ehangach."
Mae’r buddsoddiad yn rhan o’r rhaglen gwerth £1.5 biliwn mae Dŵr Cymru yn buddsoddi yn ei rwydwaith dŵr a dŵr gwastraff hyd at 2015.
Wrth drafod ei hymweliad, dywedodd Janet Finch Saunders AC:
"Roeddwn yn falch iawn o gael cyfle i weld dros fy hun y gwaith peirianneg gwych yma. O’i gwblhau, bydd y gronfa’n galluogi Dŵr Cymru i ddarparu adnoddau storio dŵr glan ar gyfer trigolion Aberconwy tua’r dyfodol".
