Description
Updates
We are continuing to experience challenges in raising water levels, which has led to some boats having difficulty navigating through the area. Replacement parts for the pumps are scheduled to be installed on Tuesday. We anticipate that these works will improve the pumps' performance and overall water management. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and will provide further updates once received.
7/3/2025Please be advised that we are currently experiencing low water levels at Minworth and Curdworth Lock Flight. While pumps have been activated to increase water levels, they are currently overheating and require repairs. As such, we do not recommend boat travel through this area after 2:30 PM, as boats may be at risk of becoming grounded. Assistance from our on-call team may be necessary if boats become stuck. We are in the process of arranging the replacement of the pump control panels. An update will be provided once a timeframe for repair has been confirmed. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this time.
