Cw 8159 Barrowford reservoir works 31.1.2023. Embankment stabilising works are carrying on at Barrowford reservoir on the morning of Tuesday 31.1.2023 and there is still very little water in the bottom of it. This reservoir is fed from the Foulridge upper and lower reservoirs with these being nearly full to capacity at present. The work started in September 2021 and was scheduled to take approximately 48 weeks but have over run. Hopefully the work will be completed in time to enable the water to be let back in and be ready for use in the Leeds and Liverpool canal in the coming summer and thus avoiding too serious water restrictions of the last couple of years. The CRT reservoir watch report for December 2022 indicates that the seven reservoir’s, Rishton, Barrowford, Upper and Lower Foulridge, Slipper Hill, Whitemoor and Winterburn that supply the Leeds and Liverpool where at 61.1% capacity compared to the Lancaster canal which is at 100%.
