Filter beds went out of use sometime in the late 70s or early 80s as water is no longer used directly from the reservoir.

Wooded area. After this picture was taken a wood was planted here to slow down evaporation of the reservoir by wind. The wood is there now in 2016 and is open to walkers as is the track around the reservoir.
