Cw 8644 Barrowford reservoir refilling The water in Barrowford reservoir glints in the spring sunshine on Good Friday the The reservoir was drained in September 2021 for bank stabilization work which went on longer than the planned 48 weeks but is now refilling as the last of the work to form a new path around the top of the bank is nearly complete. As the job has taken longer than anticipated it led to restrictions on the use of the locks and at times complete closure to navigation on the Leeds and Liverpool canal in the last couple of years. Hopefully now the reservoir will be feeding into the canal there will not be as much of a problem this year. The CRT reservoir watch report for February 2024 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 capacity compared to the Lancaster canal which is at 100%.
