River Blackwater (Langford)

Langford Mill Eel Screen Update

The installation works have started on site this week so if you're in the area you may notice our contract team busy in and around the Mill building. The majority of the works this week have been inside the Mill working on the electrical installation whcih will continue into next week.

The screen fabrication team will be on site next week to start assembling the screen itself. The installation into the river is planned for the week beginning Monday 17th January, weather permitting. We will be working with the EA Fisheries team again to safely lower the river level and make sure any fish in the vicinity are protected. Lowering the water will allow the screen to be set in place without the need for divers working underwater.
