"New system keeps flood defences under control
21-Sep-2011
Work has started on a £190,000 Environment Agency Wales project to upgrade the automated control system which protects Llandudno Junction from flooding.
The work, which is expected to take six weeks to complete, will replace the existing system which controls the flow of water from the Afon Wydden into the Conwy estuary and protects 229 properties from flooding.
Controlling flooding on the Wydden relies on a complicated system of four reservoirs which act as flood storage areas.
Water levels along the river are monitored and maintained at a safe level by sluice gates which are controlled by the Wydden Flood Storage Area computer.
Wear and tear of the existing control system, which has been in operation since 1997, means its replacement is essential in order to ensure the continued protection of the area against flooding.
There are also incompatibility issues with the existing system and Wales’ new flood monitoring system.
The kiosks which house the system are also being replaced.
EAW officers will maintain operational control of the flood storage reservoirs while the work is being carried out, in order to maintain flood protection standards.
North Wales Area Manager David Edwell said: “The Wydden Flood Storage Area is essential to the flood defence of Llandudno Junction and it is vital that the system meets the highest standards.
“This work means this will be the case and we can continue to protect people at risk from flooding from rivers and the sea.”

Of course it's Environment Agency, silly me! But I still don't think it's 'our' stream. In fact I think I've now got 4! This one, the Wydden , Ganol and the eels!
