Story

Proposed 1936, construction began 1938, halted during WWII German occupation of the Channel Islands, resumed 1946, dam sealed January 1947 and reservoir full to overflowing by April 1947. Originally flooded St Saviour's Valley to create a 1,090 megalitre reservoir. (inferred from the source page)

St Saviour's Reservoir is a site where Guernsey Water staff regularly carry out talks for schools and other interested groups to learn about the water treatment process. The Millennium Walk around St Saviour's Reservoir was opened in 2001 and takes approximately an hour to complete. This 3km long nature trail welcomes dogs on a lead. In 2021, an outdoor learning area was developed in conjunction with a wheelchair accessible path. —
