The Island\'s Sewerage Authority has confirmed that water levels in the drinking reservoirs are at a healthy level for this time of year.

The West Baldwin site is nearly at 100% of its operational capacity, whilst the Sulby reservoir is currently at 84%.

Ample rainfall in the Autumn Months is attributed as a main reason for the above average levels.
