Refurbishment of Lac Vert, Catus

The refurbishment of the Lake (Lac Vert) on the outskirts of Catus started about a year ago and is expected to be completed by the end of February. The work involved

  • draining the lake completely, 
  • building a dyke alongside the internal roadway, 
  • creating a sluice to control the flow of water into the canal and lake,
  • building a new beach area and
  • reinforcing the main dam.
