This Order, made on the application of the Environment Agency, makes provision to meet a deficiency in the level of water in the Teggsnose and Langley Bottoms reservoirs, which arises from an exceptional shortage of rain and poses a serious threat to the flora and fauna which are dependent on those waters, including flora and fauna in the River Bollin into which these reservoirs flow. In accordance with section 74(3) of the Water Resources Act 1991, this Order will cease to have effect on 12th March 2019 (within six months of the day on which the Order comes into force).
