ADVICE (9am Thursday 17 September 2020 until further notice)
We are sorry to advise that the failure of the EA structure at Twerton has caused low river levels on the River Avon which in turn has affected our ability to pump water up to Crofton Top Lock, this combined with urgent maintenance works on our pumps at Wootton Rivers and Bradford on Avon has caused the water levels on the Summit to fall, and this is proving slow to recover
We may have to close the section between Cadley Lock (54) and Crofton Top Lock (55) in order to stabilise and recover the water level.
We are considering all options however customers should be advised that we may have to close this section from 12:00 today.
