THOUGH water has been run down into the low pound on the Erewash Canal, it is still not enough for navigation.
It is at present closed between Hallam Fields Lock (66) and Stanton Lock (65) Keith Gudgin reports.
The 'local team' has been running water all day today, but the levels have not risen sufficiently to be able to reopen the waterway.
Work continues tomorrow
Work will continue tomorrow to get enough water down in the hope it will be enough to reopen navigation by the end of the day.
This pound of the Erewash has had numerous problems with water supply, it being closed twice last month with vandals blamed, but a local told it could be a leak.
