[edit] bath locks pump

The text currently reads "Alongside the lock is a side pond and pumping station which pumps water up the locks to replace that used each time the lock is opened[2]" but the reference is to a former engine house. Can someone please clarify if backpumping is still in operation here? Derek Andrews 10:47, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

ditto the pump at lock 12. If these are disused it should say so. Derek Andrews 10:52, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

alongside lock 7 (at the bottom) there is still a pump - I believe it's electric - which I think is the main/only one these days. The one by lock 12 is the old steam chimney - I believe this one to be disused but I don't have a source to back this up.— Rod ^talk 11:27, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
