Grand Union Water Loss
On the way back from Luton yesterday I jumped off the bus at Marsworth to take a look at the locks since BW has lowered the water level in an effort to find the leak(s).
Apparently 60 million litres of water ( that's over 13 million gallons to Imperialists like me) are escaping from the Tring Summit EVERY WEEK
Startops Reservoir is
looking very short of water
Lock 39,
at the bottom of the flight ,
is chained up to prevent its use
Above Lock 39
the level is noticeably low
Below Lock 41
some of the pounds
appear relatively unaffected
But as you approach the top
Water levels are
well below norm
Below lock 45
the top lock
things are quite dire
