Due to low water levels and the continuation of this dry weather Bingley 5 Rise and Bingley 3 Rise have not received enough water for us to open Thursday of this week as planned.   The lock flights will remain closed, and we will keep this situation under review and provide an update on or before Wednesday 2nd July.   We understand this is disappointing news, and our priority is to reopen the lock flights as soon as possible. We thank you for your support in reducing water use across our network and reporting leaks or concerns via 0303 040 4040 or our Contact Us page.
