The Nuwara Eliya Municipal Council initiated a comprehensive eco-restoration project at Gregory Lake in August 2026 to enhance water clarity and tourist safety. The project utilizes specialized aquatic weed harvesters to clear invasive vegetation while municipal teams enforce updated life-jacket and speed regulations across all commercial watercraft. Concurrently, the council issued international expression of interest tenders for a eco-friendly themed recreational park along the southern lake embankment. Local tourism associations welcomed the aesthetic upgrades, highlighting that restored lake amenities will attract higher visitor retention during the Q3 and Q4 holiday seasons.
