I thought I had posted about this yesterday but must have forgotten to press the button.
The Canal is now full as far down as lock 3 where it is pissing through the new gates despite two winches and cables straining to keep them closed, so it looks as if they might manage to open by Thursday, though the coffer dam at the sealock is still in place. The water coming down is stinking, black with mud and covered in thick floating debris. If it does open this week there will still be a lot of tidying up to do so bring your gardening wellies. It might be worth giving it a day or two to flush and settle if you are worried about your raw water pump?
