Sinkhole Repair in Upper Black Eddy

Wednesday, May 23, 2018

Reported by Pete Rosswaag –

The canal water has stopped flowing in Upper Black Eddy and points south because the waste gate at Indian Rock Inn is open. The waste gate is open so that sink holes can be repaired. The sinkholes are near “Mulligan’s Bridge, just south of the previous breach in the canal wall that was repaired in May 2011.

As you can see by my pictures, Bi-State Construction is already on site and beginning the repairs. The white boom-type things are being used so that water levels don’t have to be further reduced.  Let’s hope for a speedy and successful repair so flowing water can be resumed!
