Low water levels at Lock 9 and Lock 10
Lock 9, Blackpit Hebden Bridge
Update on 07/02/2023:
Our operatives have been working to rectify the issues all morning and it appears that there is still tampering occurring, so we shall be locking up Lock 9 within the next hour lasting overnight whilst the team are resolving the low water issues.
The team will monitor the water levels and return back to Lock 9 tomorrow morning, to see if the issues have improved.
ADVICE (9.45am Tuesday 7 February until 9.45am Thursday 9 February 2023)
Please be advised, following vandalism whereby the paddles at Lock 10 and Lock 11 were found to be opened last night. Lock 9 and Lock 10 currently have low water levels.
The local team are aware and are onsite feeding water down from the pounds above to the affected area. This may take 24 hours to increase the water levels.
