Last spring a nasty surprise was invited by mail to the office of Lucien Le Borgne, both first deputy and chairman of Ploërmel supply of drinking water municipal association Brocéliande. A note drafted by the services of the State, specifically the DREAL (Regional Directorate housing development environment) requires the implementation of expensive work on the dam at Lake Duc.



Structural Failures

Indeed, “Ensuring classification of the building, they have identified many structural failures” says the one. The first: a discharge of insufficient water during floods, hence the need to create a new spillway near the waterfall. Redevelopment plus the obligation to set up an organization for the maintenance and monitoring of the dam, securing the functioning of sluicing and strengthening the stability of the structure which, in the worst disaster scenarios, could, if he is overwhelmed, being carried away

Who owns

But the problem.?: who owns the dam? The Department, one road passes over the building? Water the union of Morbihan, manager of the drinking water plant? The union local water factory owner and the lake? Municipalities to Ploërmel and Taupont, owners of the flank of the dam? Or Community Ploërmel municipalities, including the nautical base is now part? In short, who is actually the owner or owners? “Everybody and nobody. “

Under negotiation …

Also, the various protagonists are about to agree to appoint a manager who, presumably, could be the Water Morbihan, the technical structure a priori better able to monitor the dam.

“All that is under negotiation says Lucien Le Borgne. But we no mistake, if water is appointed manager of Morbihan, role will be similar to a joint property. “

Understand that the various entities involved in the case would still have a say on decisions relating to the dam …

Who pays?

This seems to be a little clearer … But, in fact, will have to pay the required work, valued between 1 and 1.5 million? The Department ? Eau du Morbihan? The water Brocéliande union? Ploërmel? Taupont? The community of communes? For now, nothing is set. But one thing is certain, for Ploërmel Community:

“finance these rearrangements would be a real blow, loose Patrick Le Diffon, its president . We have much to do in terms of investments. But the money will be there can not be put elsewhere. “

And if the community of Community undertakes? at least in part? in funding, “the great inter tomorrow she will take over , asks the first deputy of Ploërmel. Does Aura Lake management at Duke in his duties ? Not so sure

The low level maintained Lake

Présageons after discussion, the bill will be shared between different structures related the file. But, meanwhile, the authorities demand that the level of the Lac au Duc is kept low to avoid that the water pressure weighs on the structure. Not sure therefore that the level of the lake rises quickly …
