Green Lane Aqueduct Update

The dams have been removed and the aqueduct re watered but the wall below is still leaking. The day after this machine was used to lift extra puddle up to the towpath.

Later in the day this was the scene still got the temp fence round the place where the

cement grout was added.
Another view of "The place where the leak was" showing the puddle that has not even been

tramped down.
A view from the top showing the aqueduct walls still leaking.
I wonder if B.W. will be paying their contractors for "nearly fixing the leak?".

Lower Peak Forest Canal.

At last B.W. are doing something about the leak at the Green Lane Aqueduct on the Lower Peak Forest Canal in Romiley. The leak was greater than 20 ltrs per minute and had started in the inner arch of the aqueduct and in the last year had spread to one outer wall. this week two dams were erected either end of the aqueduct and the water pumped out. This is the first time for over a year I have not seen water pouring out of the wall. Lets hope they manage to fix it now.

I will follow the progress with interest and report as things develop.
