  • My grandfather was the first reservoir keeper - he died at 100 years old in 1999. The stories he told of the 1930s were notorious. There was an explosion also and he was in the news as he was hurt pretty bad. Remember when I was little in the 1960's visiting him in his little house on the hill there where he played cards and kept his fishing poles.
