Description
Yorkshire Hydro Limited are carrying out some strengthening works to the base of their eel pass and also replace a broken weir board at Kirkthorpe Weir.
To carry out this work it will be necessary to draw down the water level by around 150mm starting at 8am. The levels should return to normal by 3pm.
This will affect the levels between Broadreach and Woodnook.
Can skippers of all craft ensure their mooring ropes are adjusted as necessary.
