Nant Morlais Sinkhole update 5.12.24

Due to the current weather conditions, the water level within the culvert has risen and Welsh Water have had to pause their works for a crane to be moved onsite to carry out the urgent stabilisation works.

The water pumps working to divert the flow of the river are also struggling to cope.

As of this morning, the sinkhole has increased in size.

Unfortunately, this means that we are no longer in a position to allow householders from the lower end of the cul-de-sac to return home safely, possibly until early next week. However, this timeline will be heavily reliant on weather conditions over the weekend.

We will provide a further update tomorrow.
