Queens Valley

Queen’s Valley Reservoir is owned by Jersey Water and is kept open for the enjoyment of the general public. The reservoir is the newest reservoir in Jersey and was completed in 1991.  It is split into two reservoirs and the wall at the end is a rock filled embankment. The large tower near the dam wall is where all of the water is collected from. The tower has a series of inlet pipes at varying depths through which water can be collected for transfer to the water treatment works. There are several walking routes around Queen’s Valley Reservoir, the full circuit is 1.9miles. The reservoir has a natural wealth of flora and fauna and is home to many species of birds and wildlife. An arboretum has been created at the reservoir. This garden devoted to trees provides a lush and safe environment for wildlife.
