A year ago the Agency successfully prosecuted the owner of the reservoirs, Eurolago E Foresta, for contravening the Reservoirs Act 1975. The Agency then appointed supervising engineers to each reservoir but the company did not pay the costs incurred.
The non-payment of the engineers led to a prosecution and fines of approximately US$11,000. The company has now appointed engineers to both sites.
The Agency took over as enforcing authority for the reservoirs in late 2004.
