An excellent letter from Paul Bugas, aquatics manager for the Virginia Dept of Gameland and Inland Fisheries. Key Points made:
Prior to the Feb 6 statement by Fred Jennings, that access would remain open, it appears there was discussion about leasing the reservoir for recreational purposes. This is from the Dec 2013 meeting minutes.
Looks like things are heating up on Cleanup Beaverdam Reservoir’s Facebook page as well as Loudoun Water’s Facebook page. Lets get the word out, the more people that know, the better!
It appears Loudoun Water has reversed its decision posted on Feb 6. Water access will be limited to the rowing teams and Loudoun water staff until 2018!

Today Loudoun Water completed the purchase of all Loudoun based water assets from Fairfax, this includes the reservoir, water treatment plant and pipeline along the W&OD. Funding was provided by water rate increase in 2012.
