As it is estimated it will take 56 hours to fill, the marina should be filled with water sometime today, Wednesday.
Lot of interest
It created quite a lot of interest with nearly 50 people turning up to see the 'break-through' when water was finally let in through four pipes into the four acres basin, with fireworks to celebrate the occasion.
Work on White Mills Marina began at the beginning of July this year, and now that it is filling up with water from the Nene the floating pontoons will be installed over the next 10 days.
Then White Mills will be able to start accepting boats in time for the Winter moorings season at the beginning of November.
