Whats up with this wave? Seemed to have a good amount of winter flow down canal. The guage read 55cm but the wave was just flushing downstream....

Who has had more success - what flow is a good flow?

Sorry, no news as yet. Genesis Energy are looking at their options. If there is any news I'll post it here.

Yes, some improvements have been made, but it's only good at high flows. It's still closed for now.
