Details

Service reservoir panel engineers are civil engineers qualified to carry out tasks on:

  • service reservoirs – a type of non-impounding reservoir that is built of bricks, masonry or concrete and normally enclosed with a roof
  • high-risk reservoirs – a reservoir is high-risk if it is large raised and the Environment Agency thinks an uncontrolled release of water could endanger human life
  • large raised reservoirs – have a volume of at least 25,000 cubic metres above ground level

Service reservoir panel engineers are civil engineers qualified to:

  • design and supervise the construction and alteration of service reservoirs
  • inspect, produce a report and make safety recommendations for any high-risk service reservoir
  • oversee and certify that safety recommendations have been carried out at a high-risk service reservoir
  • supervise any high-risk large raised reservoir and produce a statement once a year
  • act in an emergency to protect people and property against a possible escape of water from a service reservoir
  • bring an abandoned service reservoir back into use as a large raised reservoir
  • design and supervise the alteration of a service reservoir so it is no longer a large raised reservoir
  • certify a flood plan for a service reservoir

Joint reservoir engineer panels for England and Wales

The Secretary of State and Welsh ministers have established new joint reservoir engineer panels for England and Wales.

The new panels started on 1 January 2022. They will run alongside and eventually replace the existing panels. From 1 January 2022, the list of panel engineers will include both the existing panel members and the new joint panel members. You can choose any engineer from the list.

For more information see the joint determination made by the Secretary of State and the Welsh ministers.
