We have had a water gauge installed at a point where water backs up in an open drain to channel under out track. There is going to be work done to hold more water back and slow its release into the river system. This has been put in to monitor before and after to see if the work actually does any good.
Yesterday the gauge scale was out of sight and completely submerged as the water had risen to the point where it just flowed over the track. Driving down the lane was like driving down a river. A couple of inches on a 1 in 6 slope!
