The stoppage notice for Rushall is here https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/notice/13213/rushall-locks

Thanks John, no idea why it isnt showing in their stoppages from the search bar for me.

Tonights on the scene report says the valves are closed at Chasewater, looks like springy is not going anywhere for a while.

Not much to update, springy's photos aside.

Another update, some cracking pics again showing possibly the location of the leak as mentioned to me by Springy of this parish

How are the levels now on the west part of the pound?

[AMModels]

I tend to refer to it as North and South, it bends so much it could be referred to by every point of the compass lol.

The Chasewater side is dropping slightly again, Staffs are conserving water for their Iron man contest this weekend so theres no water going into it, yesterday morning it was 5mm down on where it had recovered to so still about 4 inches down at least.

I was referring to the Wolverhampton side.

I felt it had more of a feel of Allo Allo spytalk

Answering my own question. This is Smethwick top lock about 1 minute ago. Maybe 1” down. 

[springy]

Went & had a quick look earlier - plenty of activity in the plant yard, & they now have a 6" pump installed moving water from south to north, or is that east to west, or ???  - anyway its coming our way - got to be good. 

 

Some pics

 

Yellow tennis balls appear to mark the line of the culvert

 

Flow into culvert

 

 

Prep 

 

Teeces Br (south side/west side/wolverhampton side you choose) - probably a couple of inches down

 

 

Grove basin 4"-6" down

Just had someone walk up to CW, definitely no flow out of there atm.

[john6767]

I see that the stoppage notice has been update to say the Severn Trent have accepted responsibility for the culvert, and will be making the repairs.

[Victor Vectis]

So does that mean all that crap will be left in the bottom of the cut?

Do you really need to ask?

Looks like it's come up a couple of inches since we came through Tuesday pm. 

 

When we came past the end of the Bradley Arm. On Saturday I was expecting to see some flow coming out but the rubbish on the surface was just floating there.

OK.

 

But, like some people in Derbyshire, one can live in hope.

Now, you've boated that section many times. And it's always had crap in the bottom. It is only now you can see it, you want it taken out

 

 

[Victor Vectis]

Hmmm, yes.

I suppose it is 'heritage' crap!

Updated blog with details of problems with Chasewater water supply and explanation of why it took them a few days to find the leak.

Live in Hope, die in Castleton. Or where do flies go into the winter, through Dukinfield to Hyde.

[springy]

Had a quick look at the site this evening - some pics follow, work obviously progressing - I guess the pile alongside the collapse is to be made into the platform for any equipment to excavate the culvert, we also now have a 4" pump alongside the 6", but they are now feeding in the wolverhampton direction, fortunately there's plenty coming from chasewater.
