Foot Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Does anyone have any recent updates on the dam? the new isnt on til 10 and i just want to know whats happening :/ Latest info from Rotherham Council website states "The risk of a breach in the dam wall at Ulley Reservoir has now been significantly reduced. Pumping out is continuing at the site, but progress with temporary repair work to the wall has been good and the dam is now more stable. However, the situation is being continually monitored."

kate55 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Lets just all hope the rain is not that bad over the weekend. Dread to think what Sheffield and surrounding areas will be like if we have a repeat of Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
