Prior to the Feb 6 statement by Fred Jennings, that access would remain open, it appears there was discussion about leasing the reservoir for recreational purposes. This is from the Dec 2013 meeting minutes.
LW discusses leasing the reservoir for recreational use
Looks like things are heating up on Cleanup Beaverdam Reservoir’s Facebook page as well as Loudoun Water’s Facebook page. Lets get the word out, the more people that know, the better!
It appears Loudoun Water has reversed its decision posted on Feb 6. Water access will be limited to the rowing teams and Loudoun water staff until 2018!
Article annouces reservoir access will be closed to the public immediately until 2018. Rowing teams get a pass.
Today Loudoun Water completed the purchase of all Loudoun based water assets from Fairfax, this includes the reservoir, water treatment plant and pipeline along the W&OD. Funding was provided by water rate increase in 2012.
