Please be advised that we are currently experiencing low water levels in the pound below Lock 21. Our team is continuing to monitor the situation. Ongoing drought conditions are contributing to the low water levels.

Pumps are currently being used to help restore water levels. We expect levels to gradually improve; however, please be aware that recovery may take some time due to the particularly large size of the pound.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while our teams continue to work to restore water levels.
