junior Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Apparently there is a serious leak at Hack Green that has caused an emergency stoppage. I went through yesterday and didn't notice anything untoward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dor Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 I've been told that levels are noticeably down at Nantwich. Presumably due to lack of supply coming from the south as they are draining the pound to bridge 88. Maybe they will increase the flow coming from Llangollen if it becomes a problem.

Plus there wont be too many boats moving down the lower end to send water down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dor Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Anyone know the status of this stoppage? Contractors were supposed to be on site on the 13th, with an expectation of the canal being open again by the middle of the week. My wife is seeing Wendy Capelle later today so may have an update then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dor Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 The canal is expected to reopen tomorrow (Wednesday). The work is not completed but boats will be able to pass. Audlem flight is, of course, still closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
