Low Water Levels

Due to the continued dry weather, we are experiencing low water levels on this section of the canal.

Our teams are monitoring the situation closely and taking steps to manage available water resources where possible.

We will reassess water levels on Monday 10 August, and this notice will be reviewed and updated by 12:00 noon.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience and understanding.
