Canolfan Tryweryn Water Release Notification

Releases from Llyn Celyn are controlled by the Environment Agency. There are a number of factors taken into consideration for releases including recreation, fisheries, power generation, flood control and water extraction. Canolfan Tryweryn has an excellent relationship with the EA but Canolfan Tryweryn does not have any control over water releases. The EA advises us of the water releases and, as soon as we have received the release information, we up-date both this web-page and the water information line - 01678 520826

Date: Thursday 12th October 2008

During the shutdown period water release levels are subject to last minute change. The Centre is closed until December 1st 2008.
