Small rise in reservoir levels

Increase comes almost five weeks after introduction of hosepipe ban

Reservoir levels on the Isle of Man have increased slightly over the last week.

Manx Utilities says four sites are now at 67 per cent capacity which is still 17 per cent lower than average for this time of year.

The Sulby and West Baldwin reservoirs both saw levels rise but Clypse and Kerrowdhoo continued to fall with the latter now standing at 43 per cent.

It comes almost five weeks after an Island-wide hosepipe ban was introduced in response to dry conditions.
