Barrowford reservoir overlooked by Pendle Hill on the morning of Tuesday showing the low water levels. This reservoir is fed from the Foulridge upper and lower reservoir’s before the water is released into the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. Following a continuing dry spell of weather the Canal and River Trust are reminding and encouraging boaters to use the THRIFT code, sharing locks and making sure all paddles and gates are shut after a lock has been used. They have also started to apply restrictions on lock usage on the Leeds and Liverpool canal by locking the locks up from 6pm until 10am the following day. The CRT reservoir watch report for June indicates that the seven reservoir’s, Rishton, Barrowford, Upper and Lower Foulridge, Slipper Hill, Whitemoor and Winterburn that supply the Leeds and Liverpool are at capacity compared to June 2017 when they were at CRT is implementing the restrictions now to try to avoid a running out of water later in the year.
