October began with Storm Alex, which caused some localised flooding with heavy showers that set the tone for the month.
Water reserves increased by 338 Mega-Litres as a result, taking the overall volume in storage up to 3,973ML, which equates to 90.6% of maximum capacity across the island's reservoirs.
