FLETCHERS LAKE: The heavy rains on Tuesday saw siltation flow down along water and into Lake Fletcher.

A resident took video and posted it on Waverley, Wellington, Windsor Junction and area community Facebook page, and it has garnered lots of comments.

The video shows the brownish coloured water coming down at the north end of Lake Fletcher.

The resident said the silt is coming from the Aerotech/Wellington Connector project.
