Latest on the Boating Pond
Heavy plumbing used to restore water flow....
This week marks a landmark for the restoration of our boating pond. You will have noticed that the concrete slab repairs to the pond have been a success as can be seen by the high level of water being maintained over a number of months.
The next stage is to install the connector pipework to the existing cast iron pipework. The image above shows something similar for what our connection will look like.
Soon, the Contractors will also empty the pond to carry out final survey and any patch repairs required before the new pump is installed via mobile crane next week (05/02/24).
After the new pump is installed, there will be a process for testing and commissioning with the pond finally being refilled using water from the aquifer by the end of February / early March 2024.

This year’s theme, “Make a Mark”, invited everyone to explore drawing as a way of seeing, thinking and connecting — not just creating a finished picture.
