OT: Reservoir security

They're worried Al Quaeda is gonna poison them.

No it's not. Water is treated as it's used.

Talking out your arse again.

I was told by the water board worker in Sheringham that the tank contains a reserve of treated water. That means the treatment works can be large enough to cover average demand during the day, rather than peak demand.

Not specifically for deer but I have seen electrified 'fences'[1] that keep livestock away from actual barbed wire fences. They get a 'tickle' (FSVO) whenever they lean against it so they learn not to do that.

In the mean time their hides are protected from Barbwire nicks or if sheep the fence stops their wool getting tangled if horses the fence stops them eating crap from the other side of the fence.

That looks more like a pump house / treatment works An actual water reservoir looks lake/loch like .

Looks like a lot of security for a pumphouse / treatment works to me . The Pumphouse / treatment works near me has a fence but doesn't have cameras

Wouldn't surprise me in the least. Though having said that the security is VERY visible for a top security site.

Same here.

You would not believe how many times I have had sex in a car in Winscar Reservoir car park.

There are plenty of covered reservoirs about, sometimes the concrete tank is completely grassed-over, sometimes just the sides are mounded up with soil/grass, a lot of the smaller ones are disused and occasionally sold, e.g. scroll-back to oct/nov 2107

Isn't there more space in a van?

Owain

You cannot always spot the IR flood lights. A couple of places I have worked at use IR that the human eye cannot see.

Seats only lower back in a car.

And the lights were not a part of the camera.

My brother had a double matress in the back of his van. He didn't need it for his job though.

Wonder why Pan is grumbling about replies to this thread having an invalid character in the NG name ?

The O/P has nothing invalid, which message-id: in particular were you trying to reply to?

I've posted quite a few - different posters. I wondered why they weren't showing, and a sniff in Pans logs reveals any reply to that thread seems to trip this

Posting of "Re: OT: Reservoir security" successful: 441 Invalid syntax encountered in References: header field body (unexpected byte or empty content line)

and the post isn't picked up.

It's warmer in the front.

well, references: != newsgroups:

looking at a smattering of posts, can't see anything dodgy, but a message-id: you'd failed to reply to would help

Thinking about it, I think it?s a ?backup reserve? filled from the main reservoir at Loch Braden designed to supply a village in the event of the other supply having to be shut off for any reason.

It?s high enough up a hill to provide enough pressure but it?s not supplied by any local water courses so I think it must just fill off the mains so to speak.
