Anecdotal Information of Munitions in Lake Results in Search

Llandrindod Wells, United Kingdom rumors and other anecdotal information passed down throughout the years suggests that hand grenades and other munitions may have been dumped in a 10-acre lake during WWII. These rumors are now being taken seriously as dredging plans for the lake becomes a reality.

The British Royal Engineers recently completed a magnetomer survey of the lake and a dive to investigate detected anomalies. To date no munitions have been found. A second dive is planned for next month to continue the search for the potential discarded military munitions.

The planned dredging operation is part of large-scale project to improve the water quality of the lake and to revitalize the ecosystem. Local council members and environmentalists however are very concerned over the potential for munitions in the lake, even if it's only a rumor.
