haha...went up here the other night with a couple of mates and got the same shock as you...the thing was overflowing down the waterfall.

We stopped and asked a local lady feeding the ducks (there's alot of consultation with the locals over what's happening with this) who said it was still being drained but it is the exceptionally heavy rain we've had thats filled it back up!!!

good it shouldn't be drained. i agree with andy they are finding it hard to drain this but they cant stop all the leaks on the other water pipes which has caused us to have a hose pipe ban.

It would appear that they've pulled the plug on emptying it.

The one good thing about it, is that you can take good pictures
